A cruel, crude joke: Gas prices to top $3 :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Personal Finance (http://www.suntimes.com/business/currency/2064546,CST-NWS-gas23.article - broken link)
"Nationally, the price is $2.65 a gallon, up 3 cents a gallon from last week and 73 cents a gallon higher than a year ago."
Ah, it's all Bush's fault. I would also include Sarah Palin, Haliburton, and cigar chomping, white anglo saxon cigar chomping CEOs.
Never mind that Clinton and Greenspan blew up the NASDAQ bubble and everyone preferred investing in worthless Linux start ups as opposed to a real commodity, ergo the < $1/gal gas prices back in the late 90s. Productivity was increase, living standards were going up while consumer prices were going down. Since the Fed HATES deflation, they chose to instead pump the economy full of cheap money to make people appear wealthier on paper.
Must be that President Bush is in bed with the Saudis and big Oil.
