What's Really Driving $5 Gasoline Worries

Bush was not totally blame for the price rises during his admin, though his policies did not help bring down prices. Same with Obama. I am simply being honest in saying there are many factors. The president does not control everything.

ROFL, in your sweetest dreams.

Ain't gonna happen in the long run. Prices are gonna rise regardless of who is elected. I guarantee it.

 

I believe you. Oil companies want one thing above all, high prices so their profits will be large.

Note, export more to keep prices and profits high at home.

 

Note I said long term. Sure prices will go up and go down, just like the stock market. But the trend is up and the trend will continue upward until we find a cheaper power source than oil and gas. I did project out past the 2020 election. If prices are below today's prices then I will admit that I am wrong .... if I am able to still see and type ... if I am still alive then and that certainly is not a given.

 

Man, I am just telling you like it is. Am I concerned about the price of gas rising? For others yes. For me no. I can adjust my lifestyle. You seem completely in denial. So be it. Time will show you that I am right, prices will rise. I promise it. No whining, no crying, just telling you the facts of life.

Over the long run prices cannot be brought down and kept down unless and only unless we find a cheaper substitute fuel. No whining, no crying, no complaining, no finger pointing ... as Joe Friday used to say, "Just the facts."

 

The trend is up. Prices are going to go up as time passes. Fact. Stick you head in the sand, doesn't matter to me. The OP has been shredded only in your mind as your infantile attitude will not allow you to see the world at it is ... only as you want it to be. Look at the world, the events around the world, be logical and not irrational and you will see I am correct ... as much as you hate that idea. Sorry old fellow, you are totally incorrect.

 

Dream on and die an angry, disillusioned old man. I deal in facts and will die a happy, informed old man.

If you do not approach the world informed and rational you can never prepare for change. To survive in this world in a meaningful way you have to do more than say, "prices can be brought down," and then point fingers when they do not come down. You have to read the world and what is happening, see the trends and take actions such that the events that can be foreseen do not have too great of a negative impact on you. Stick to your opinions, irrational as they are, and you will be devastated by that which you could have seen coming down the road. In every crisis there is opportunity. In ever good time there is opportunity. The goal is to realize what is crisis and how you can use it to your advantage ... or at least minimize the damage. In the stock market it is called cutting your losses short and letting your profits run. Same in life. My free advice to you this evening.

Getting late here. So good night, sleep tight and don't let the Montana bed bugs bite.

Oh, and say your prayers.
