Hello, All.
A really interesting article (all links are at the bottom):
Media Hides Real Reason for Rise in Gas Prices
Why did the media hid the real reason for rise in gas prices
under GW Bush?
...
real reasons for the jump. Unrest in the middle east has
given the cabal of President Obama and the media, ôcoverö
to blame others for the spike to the stratosphere.
The real reasons are three-fold, with unrest in the middle
east being the least of the three.
1) Devaluation of the dollar. The incessant printing of
money by this administration began the rise of gas prices
months long before the middle east blew up. I'm no Alan
Greenspan, but I can figure out that if oil prices are tied
to the dollar, and you print more dollars, the oil price
will go up, up, up.
That's one of the dumbest claims. Oil prices are denominated in
dollars, but not tied to the dollar. That guy is no Alan
Greenspan, and I have no respect for Alan Greenspan either.
2) An energy policy that calls for less drilling for oil at
home, not more.
Drilling at home will not affect gas prices for years. Another
dumb claim. BTW, where was he when GWB with held 75% of the
embargoed offshore oil?
3) Unrest in the middle east.
The amount of oil being produced has been affected very little.
The price of oil has been affected very little by any of those.
Notice that the rise in the price of oil began as soon as the
republicans took the house.
...
When Bush was in the White House the media had no problem
reporting the fact that the rise in oil prices were due to
the depreciation of the dollar, [3] but they seem to have
forgotten that little fact today. Can't point the finger at
Dear Leader.
The media was in the republican's pocket for 8 years. Still are
for that matter.
...
Some of that is happening here but I've got
some reality fer ya, drill here, drill now! How long have
Why didn't GW Bush allow that? Drill here or anywhere won't have
any effect for years. Oh, and the US has comparatively little
oil.
we been hearing that tune while the leftist politicians and
their activist old media shout it down? Drill here, drill
now. [8]
Stupid answer to an immediate problem. Which oil company bought
his soul?
