Are you sure "reaql" isn't a code word for "speculators"?

Gas is approaching $5.00 per gallon because supplies are tight and

True, for every American that can no longer afford the second car, or
even the first one, you have a India or Chinese buying them. Remember
it is just in this last year Chinese buy more autos than do Americans
and the trend is set to continue for the next decade at least. So net
consumption is up, not down. It is what makes this depression different.

Fleabaggers in their envy and greed may want cheap oil, but they will
not get it again. Thy vote for the same policies that cause currency
inflation and expect reality will not come back with a bite.

Fleabaggers are irrational.
