Obamaa and his people are on record saying Americans should be paying European-like prices for gasoline; in the $7-$9 dollar range.
Republicans said increasing domestic energy production would decrease prices. The Left insisted this wasnt the case
that's what happened; fuel prices dropped when domestic energy production was increased
libs are losers who lie to themselves
Obamagas is $1.94 a gallon
Thanks President Obama!
Thank fracking (which Obozo tried to limit)...
Actually all three of these theories are wrong.
No POTUS controls gas prices -- the price of a barrel is set in the international trading market, which is beyond the purview of anybody here. Secondly, it ain't as simple as "supply and demand" or "offshore drilling" or "fracking" as if you're selling widgets. "WE" do not drill for, process or sell oil --- OIL COMPANIES drill, process and sell oil, and those are multinational profit-centred megacorporations whose allegiance is to shareholders ---- not anybody's flag, including the one they're based in.
And they do so on that same international market, which means the end product goes to wherever it serves the interest of profit --- which is why something like the Keystone pipeline, with its end products most likely bound for China and India, not Chicago and Indianapolis, serve no purpose except to facilitate that corporate profit by reducing their overhead.
And thirdly, the smaller differences between cheaper and more expensive states are entirely the result of the state/local tax scheme there, which is why North Carolinians near the SC state line can get it in SC cheaper, and also why prices in "this" county are higher than "that" county.
