A significant part of that is the fact that the dollar is worthless.
Factor in the declining value of the dollar. Thank you idiot bush.


What does Bush (or any president) have to do with the price of oil or the
value of the dollar?

(Not argumentative, but I am really interested in learning how the POTUS
controls and is responsible for such things)

Please be specific and not speculative.

I have to leave for a meeting, so I don't have time for a numbered
answer, but the one thing Bush never takes seriously is the fact that he
has a "bully pulpit" to lean on oil companies, drug companies, importers
of Chinese toys, et cetera, and foster public opinion to force changes
in corporate behavior. He can also threaten legislation.

President Dupe, however, does nothing. He pays lip service to consumer
concerns, but he does nothing.

That's a starter.
