God, that alternate universe you live in is really a rocking scene. Is there a rainbow on the horizon as well?

Real Americans who aren't on government assistance, i.e. not Democrats, know that gas prices are rising.

Michigan's former failed governor. Granholm told Michigan residents they would be "blown away" by her state economic policies. Little did they know that meant having the highest unemployment in the USA.

Usually crafting an argument or rebuttal includes some sort of factual evidence.

Even Matlock should have taught you guys that.

So, while still grossly above historical levels a minor uptick is not some sort of crisis.

Now granted, this should still make the right wingers point in this thread that it still really sucks. Even if the new outrage is paper thin BS.

Op, why not just start a thread showing that despite coming down it's still awfully high????
It’s around $3.25 where I live. By historic standards, I don’t consider that to be awfully high.

Meanwhile, the rig count, while flattening out during the period of dropping gas prices, took a jump this week. '


I guess right wingers are actually insincere in their support for the oil and gas industry.

It's not exactly a rosy picture he's painting there. And for better or worse, he's mostly right -- oil and gas prices are likely to resume falling over the intermediate term, mostly for all the wrong reasons.

Of the inexpensive locations I keep and eye on that I also happened to drive by today, the two most expensive were in The Woodlands…….the Sawdust & Sawmill Circle K in The Woodlands and the Sawdust Walmart in The Woodlands were both $2.85 9/10.
