Hmmm... I think it's no coincidence that the mid-term elections are only two months away and now gas prices are falling rapidly. This same thing happened two years ago right after GB was reelected - the week after, gas prices rose sharply. Yes, I think Dick Cheny calls his friends over in Saudi Arabia and at ExxonMobil to ask them to temporarily lower gas prices so they can hopefully push to another election cycle where they can raise prices without any hindrance.
Suppy of oil is not a determining factor in this issue. There's no more oil now than there was two months ago, less in fact. And control over the supply is tight. History shows us that in the 70s, they were able to create shortages. The only difference this time is that the presidential administration is in on the act. - Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Munn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 1:44 AM Subject: Re: Gas Price Thread > damn, there go our tax dollars again... > > seriously, gas is dropping because crude is dropping. crude is dropping > because supply is outstripping demand. opec isn't happy. they figured out > that the developed world can afford $70/barrel and they don't want to go > back to the days of $10/barrel for oil. the saudis probably figure they > can > postpone the revolution for another generation if oil stays at $70. > > and oh, i have no idea what i paid, something under $3 but not by much. > > On 9/12/06, G wrote: >> >> 2.25 here in the midwest. >> >> I propose a congressional investigation into why oil prices are suddenly >> dropping. >> >> No?
