Does it really matter...I'm sure you'll blame Trump for the sun going down tonight.

Actually you will find that I give very little blame or credit to any POTUS. Their influence is way overstated by most people for both the good and the bad.

Yeah, I can tell from comment #3.

Somehow I think you missed the point of comment #3...which is that Trump is not responsible for any of those things...and neither was Obama or Bush or Clinton or...well you get the idea...mabye

I doubt it. I don't get the impression "Thinker101" is much of a... well... thinker.

This is not an American Political issue. Fuel prices are global and slow-moving, with a shit ton of factors involved.

Right now?

OPEC has been trying to kill American producers by keeping production high for the past few years, but OPEC failed because technology and production methods allowed American producers to put more product on the market with less competition. In response, OPEC cut production in 2017, and has just recently agreed to extend it through December. That, coupled with the recent dip in inventory has caused the prices to increase.

But, on a bright note, Texas' economy gets even better when Regular Unleaded prices hover at about $2.50 per gallon average, which means about $2.15 in Texas***.


***Being a state full of oil assholes has its privileges.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

High gas prices are an indication of a Great America!

Well. Great Texas at least.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

The key factor driving prices higher is falling supplies of oil. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has kept a tight lid on output following a recent deal to extend oil production cuts.

And declining production in Venezuela, which is being roiled by political and economic turmoil, has contributed to the price spike.

Gas prices head up when they usually head down in winter

You beat me to it.

Why not? Obama took credit when gas went down....and his idiot minions believed he had soemthing to do with gas prices going down, IN SPITE ALL OF HIS POLICIES BEING COUNTER TO CHEAP GAS. (No Pipelines, no drilling...)

Faggot shaming is not very progressive.

he's as responsible for gas prices as he is for the unemployment and dow jones numbers.

on that I agree 100%.

Gas is an international commodity with a world market. You are both ignorant, or at least silly.

As are stocks traded on the stock market.

Stocks are not imported nor exported nor is s there global demand for them.

It's just a stupid argument.

The president has far more control over some things than others, although he fully controls very little outside of the WH.

Stocks are traded based upon speculation not unlike other commodities on a similar market.

People from all around the world invest in the US stocks, making them global, just as people in the US invest in the stocks of other countries.

I am pretty sure a POTUS does not even fully control what happens in the White House.

It started with the global economic pick up, and continued on with the riots in Iran.

It's simply vacuuous to compare political influence of stock markets with a global commodites. I get that it doesn't gel with your anti-Trump agenda, but suck it up anyway.

You're not being serious. If you want to make bait threads, you'll need to do better than this.

I am sorry that you cannot grasp that people outside of your own country invest in our stock market, but reality is what it is.
