Why have gas prices doubled since the Democrats took control of Congress and
only went up 15% during the entire time the Republicans held Congress under
Bush?

If this trend continues and Democrats run the government, say goodbye to
Stinkpot Cruisers.

Since Congress (Red or Blue) seems unable to do anything significant, like
pass the EPA Clean Water Act exemption for recreation vessels, what makes
you think gas prices have anything to do with them? They drones under the
dome don't set gas prices. Increasing demand in China, India, and other
rapidly developing nations, together with eight years of disasterous and
stupid foreign policy in the oil producing areas of the world are what sets
the prices.

I don't believe any of that. Gas prices are fixed by demand, yes, but a
much larger factor is the fact that the Yankee dollar is near worthless.
That blame lays firmly at the feet of the Federal Reserve Privately
Owned Bank Corporation, the bankers behind the curtain.

It's why gold is constantly creeping its way back up to $1000/oz. The
value of gold hasn't changed in 10,000 years. The money has, quite
simply, gotten more worthless as the FED runs the printing press 24
hours a day loaning money to the US Government and failing American
banks with nothing but a promise to back it up.

You barely hear a thing said on the Propaganda Channels (cable news)
about failing banks like the biggest one to close in US history this
week:

and all others, have simply vanished....along with a substantial amount
of depositors' money.

Who do you think will cough up the $US8,000,000,000 FDIC will pay in
insurance? Who will crank up the money printing presses to print
it....raising fuel prices even further.

We're going to be in VERY serious trouble, very soon, as OPEC is moving
operations away from the useless Yankee dollars sliding over the falls
and onto the more stable EURO. Gas will really jump on that day as the
conversion is nearly 1.5:1 at the moment and widening.

Actually the oil futures market has ballooned from $60 billion to $260
billion in the past 7 years because of deregulation pushed by Republican
Senators and Congressmen. It just took a little time for the chickens to
start roosting and the droppings to pile up.

Mike,

Here is some actual data:

http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx

Gasoline went up more than 15% during Bush/Repo Congress and did not double
during the Demo Congress.

However, there is a big jump in prices since the Democrats took over
Congress. I cannot help but notice the gas price curve is very similar to
this one:

If one is silly enough to believe that the latter curve proves that man is
causing global warming, then it is intuitive that the Democrats are causing
the rise in gas prices.

Don't forget the overall diminuation of U.S. "street cred" due to blundering
military adventures, crazy foreign policy, and an obvious mental defective
in the top job. That translates directly into loss of confidence. The
value of the dollar is largely based on that confidence. The dollar was
the standard by which most other currencies were valued just eight years
ago. Now the "gold standard" is the oil standard. As the world has
shifted from dollars to oil as the basic economic unit, one has gotten
cheaper and one has gotten more expensive. Guess how that looks from our
end of the telescope.

Sadly, nobody wants to hear the truth Larry..
We'd rather let CNN, FOX, MTV, CMT, our church or political party tell us
what to think and do. Saves valuable porn surfing and video gaming time.
We're in a toilet, but the surge is working and there nothing really wrong
with the economy so all is good, right?
Could someone open up my drip just a little? aaaawwww, that's it.....
