High Prices, with the largest inventory in 20 years. Shortage theory = Fail. Lowest demand in 20 years. Shortage theory= Fail. Why? The weak dollar and speculation that oil is the new "Gold". As some have predicted, the Stock market would come back without jobs, or jobless recovery. Couple no jobs with high gas prices and you have a sick America. So, what should maybe bobomba do to help us? Well, how about opening up some drilling here in the US or off shore? Put folks to work, even a glut in the oil market, cheaper gas, people spend, food, energy, everything cheaper? Well bobombless could stick it to the speculators that all democrats seem to loathe for making money, but who really are a huge part of (We all know dems aint that poor) the democrat portfolios. And as an added bonus maybe the Arab countries would lose their fortunes and influence, and go back to taking care of their business instead of worrying about us infidels.

Fragile economy and high prices

The ultra inflation that all these Keynesians say won't happen will be hitting us all hard real quick.....
