Correct. Something functional stands the chance of being malfunction. Something that can be fixed. OTOH, you can't fix stupid.

Gas is too cheap it needs to go much higher, higher, higher... Cheap energy is evil, carbon dioxide is toxic, carbon credits are good, good, good!!! We need to set up an exchange ran by Goldman Sachs to trade carbon dioxide credits Yay!!!

Be gentle, I'm just learning!

Are we talking Natural Gas or Gasoline?

The US dollar has lost about half it's worth since Obama was elected. Gold was at about $900 an once, now its about $1,700. There you go.

Printing trillions of dollars and all our new debt is killing the dollar, and doing all he can to not drill in the US is not helping lower oil prices.

I take it that you've never used US dollar outside of the USA? (Hint: I've, in five different countries)

Someone i know always says people point out faults in others that they themselves have a problem with.

Also speculation plays a bigger role then the media is allowed to talk about.

Obama said we'd have a million new electric cars on our roads at the end of his first term, we are only shy about a million, but then we will be doing great.

Hmmm, maybe if we bribed people with $7,500 to buy an electric car... or better yet, $10,000 per car. Well, whatever, we will be in Utopian bliss once we hit that one million mark.

...more then five, in my case.

When we print trillions of dollars, and then pay OPEC with that same funny money, OPEC will raise prices to make up for the fact that we are paying them in funny money. Yes, I've been to Saudi Arabia, just in case that is your next inane comment.

Good. Now go ahead and list four of them (counting Saudi Arabia in).

So we can speak from experiences and compare them to dispel the myth you spew. You say the USD has lost half it value. Which of these "visits" you can claim would confirm that? Did you have to spend twice as much in USD that you would have in 2008 or 2004 or 2000?
