White House Wants to Keep Gas Prices High

[bigrebnc1775]

Wrong.

As I said the current price of gas has nothing to do with market forces or speculation and everything to do with the fact that the US dollar has been steadily falling.

The only way to fix that is with a sound fiscal policy and neither party wants that.

Gasoline Prices Are Not Rising, the Dollar Is Falling - Forbes

The guy who wrote the blog you linked is trying to base the price of gas on the gold standard.

Which is a fail of epic proportions.

Gold has been affected more by rampant speculation than Oil.

And, if you hadn't noticed, the gold standard hasn't been used in quite some time.

it was a comparison that obviously went over your head.

The comparison was predicated on the word "if"

As in if we were still on a sound monetary standard.

And are you denying that the dollar is falling and that is what is contributing in large to the cost of oil rising?

That's exactly how I feel about the current rise in gas prices. over printing of the dollar has made it weak and has brought up the gas prices.

Thank Richard Nixon for that. I had been a Republican all my life and after Nixon I opened my eyes.....though not just about coming off the gold standard.

They are still shut you fucking hack.

Does anyone think the dollar is not declining in value by the minute?

Oil prices are pegged to the US dollar and the US dollar is worth less so of course oil will seem higher.

It ain't rocket science.

Dollar's Slide Accelerates - WSJ.com

FOREX-Dollar hovers above 3-mth low as Fed drops no easing hint | Reuters

The dollar has risen from about .72 Euros in September to .75 Euros right now.

What currency are you using as a standard exactly?

News Headlines

The dollar is significantly lower than it was at the end of December and in the last 3 months what has the price of gas done?

 

[Vast LWC]

That's exactly how I feel about the current rise in gas prices. over printing of the dollar has made it weak and has brought up the gas prices.

Which would require a devaluation of the dollar in the last 5 or 6 months that is relative to the rise of the price of gas, which has simply just not happened.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Price of gas last 3 months

The dollar the last 3 months

The dollar drops the price of gas goes up.

Again not rocket science.

 

[Vast LWC]

The dollar is significantly lower than it was at the end of December and in the last 3 months what has the price of gas done?

But it is significantly HIGHER than it was in September, so there is no relationship.

 

[Vast LWC]

But it is significantly HIGHER than it was in September, so there is no relationship.

Or rather, there is a relationship, but it is not evident as a cause for the current rise in prices.

 

[Katzndogz]

Odd, Stephen Chu makes a public statement that the regime wants gas prices higher and a Saudi Pipeline explodes.

 

[Spectre13]

Doesn't matter what Secretary Chu wants. He does not determine the price of gasoline. The world market and the energy corps decide that. So even as we see the price of gasoline skyrocketing here, we are exporting gasoline and diesel by the tanker load. No lack of oil. No lack of refinery capacity. And the vey wealthy are getting even wealthier.

The current cost of oil has nothing to do with market forces and everything to do with the falling dollar and the government wants the dollar to keep falling; after all what better way to pay off trillions in obligations than with highly inflated worthless currency?

You are absolutely correct about inflation and cheap dollars. But that is true no matter what the price of oil is. It is a separate deal that helps the government when things are in synch. Otherwise, there are a lot of forces playing the inflation game.

This is all due to speculating and false ebbs and flows by big oil. I am from Texas and I have some police friends who work at the airport, who have had oil execs tell them, (before the price of gas went way up recently), that they bought oil at Xmas and have had them sitting out in the gulf waiting for prices to go up, which they knew speculation would take care of. It's all fake and big oil controls it all. They fix prices and control the supply and demand to suit their agenda.

 

[Spectre13]

Yes, he's just been AWFUL at increasing oil production in this country.

Got anything else you want to reveal you don't know dick about?

Did you forget....neither party has ever done anything about energy independence. We would be fools to use our own resources which are very limited while there's still some in the ground in other countries. Do you really think we are going to be the first country in the world to run out of oil and leave our military high and dry........I have a question for you. George W. Bush was importing just as much oil as Obama is. He had a Republican majority for three fourths of his two terms.....why didn't he change something if it's so important.

I didn't expect much action. Republicans hate facts......that's why they watch FOX

Although, lately Fox has been moving to the center. I guess you can only lie so long before that gets old. Don't believe me? Listen to Papa now as opposed to a year ago. They have definitely moved away from the hard right. I don't know if they will be more credible, but the shift is happening. they finally figured out most of us are centrist to the right or left.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

That's exactly how I feel about the current rise in gas prices. over printing of the dollar has made it weak and has brought up the gas prices.

Which would require a devaluation of the dollar in the last 5 or 6 months that is relative to the rise of the price of gas, which has simply just not happened.

The proof is in the cost of oil. Demand is down yet the cost of oil is up.

It's true O'Reilly has in fact mellowed, I will give you that, but they're still pushing that partisan message as hard as they ever were.

Fox and friends, for instance, has been taking up the slack.

Yes, it is up due to the fact that they have been creating artificial choke points and then speculating like crazy.

Oil Companies are using the Enron loophole to make billions at our expense.

I think Papa has mellowed because the leadership wants to move to the center. It may take time, but they will move. Fox and friends, you are correct. They may be the last to go, but mark my words, they will go the way of the dodo.

Papa has done more than mellow. He was caught defending a lesbian a few weeks ago. That is not only mellow, that is insane by Fox and Friends standards.

So you failed to see the chart showing monthly imports to the thousand barrels all the way back to the 80's. Some people are so goddam dumb that the idea of ever getting them to actually look at facts is an impossibility. Keep on watching Fox News and listening to the lies of Sean, Bill, Ann, Karl and Dennis. While you're away from the set keep tuned to Lush Rambo and that way your ignorance will only be exceeded by your lack of knowledge LMAO!!!

Thank Richard Nixon for that. I had been a Republican all my life and after Nixon I opened my eyes.....though not just about coming off the gold standard.

They are still shut you fucking hack.

So you failed to see the chart showing monthly imports to the thousand barrels all the way back to the 80's. Some people are so goddam dumb that the idea of ever getting them to actually look at facts is an impossibility. Keep on watching Fox News and listening to the lies of Sean, Bill, Ann, Karl and Dennis. While you're away from the set keep tuned to Lush Rambo and that way your ignorance will only be exceeded by your lack of knowledge LMAO!!!

First thing your ignorant ass needs to do is learn the difference between:
to

two

They sound alike but that's as far as it goes.

I love when a lib gets shot down........they jump on something else, TOO. TOO bad they can't ever admit they are wrong. Like when they have TO show their superiority. TWO of them is TWO TOO many.

Some people are so goddam dumb that the idea of ever getting them to actually look at facts is an impossibility. Keep on watching Fox News and listening to the lies of Sean, Bill, Ann, Karl and Dennis. While you're away from the set keep tuned to Lush Rambo and that way your ignorance will only be exceeded by your lack of knowledge LMAO!!!

Just in case you would like to actually read something reliable:

Talk about being god damn dumb you are, demand is down

The International Energy Agency (IEA) on Wednesday revised down its global oil demand growth forecast for 2011 by 50,000 bbl/day and by 210,000 bbl/day for 2012 because of a downward adjustment to GDP growth assumptions.

Talk about being god damn stupid the dollar is being devalued because of to much printing

Gas prices soar on dollar devaluation even as consumption drops to 10-year lows
Gas prices soar on dollar devaluation even as consumption drops to 10-year lows - The Daily Economist

First thing your ignorant ass needs to do is learn the difference between:
to
too
two

They sound alike but that's as far as it goes.

My lesson TOO you is more important than to too or fucking two. Your ass is to fucking stupid too see that obama's money printing has devalued the dollar and caused gas prices too skyrocket.
