At any rate, the past is the past. There's no excuse for not cranking up these initiatives now, at least once Big Oil takes a couple of steps out of the door of the White House.....if only....
Please people, stop this nonsense.

Oil is the same price in terms of REAL MONEY (gold!)

Same with wheat, soybeans, etc etc

It is fiat money creation, plain and simple. OPEC and Big Oil is the whipping boy for the people who choose to become ignorant to monetary policy.

If you're going to blame Bush with something, it's being a tax and spend liberal. Yes, inflation is a tax.

Indeed, the biggest detriment to the domestic US economy has been monetary and credit policy.

I would love to see McCain and eventually Obama debate that issue.

Does anyone think they would be competent?
