No you're not, you're taking it for granted as established fact and passing value judgment on traders ("scumbags") accordingly. "Speculators" can't just bid up the price of a commodity at will and laugh all the way to the bank; otherwise they'd do it all the time and prices would never come down. You also seem to forget that for every winner in commodities speculation, there's a loser on the other end of the transaction -- in other words, it's a zero-sum game. Since you refuse to learn about how commodity trading works, keep your judgments to yourself.
Obama doesn't care how much we pay for gas. He wants to push his green agenda on us . We are suppose to cut down on driving or use electric, solar or wind cars and that will make him happy. Of course we can't transition into this overnight but Obama wants it now. He wants 10 a gallon gas and he doesn't care who has to pay it or what hardships there will be on the American people. And the American people are dumb enough to vote for Obama?
Do they still want us to believe that gas prices go up due to demand? Why can't we remove the Futures market? It's what is driving the prices so high. Gas prices go down 20 cents to 3.54 and they think we should be excited over this? Gas should be no more than $2/gal. We have so much crude we ship it out? WHY? Ok, I know why but can't someone in Congress or even the POTUS put a stop to this?
My bro in colo paid $3.19.9 today & i paid $4.25.9 today. How much of that is taxes ?
And how much of it is California regulations? It always makes me giggle a little when some package reads "This product contains cancer causing agents in California." I mean, what is it about California that makes things cause cancer there but not elsewhere? Just kidding, seriously, California has some of the most stringent regulations in the nation and that impacts cost.
