It's Them, Not Me-- The New Gas Gouge-- Who 'Dun It?

The price of a barrel of oil has hit $90. The price of a gallon of regular here in northeastern Illinois is at $2.95 to $3 with a lot of stations keeping it at $2.99.9 so people won't realize that big number 3 is up front.

How does the price of gas go up, despite plentiful supplies and weak demand in the United States and Europe? Our law of supply and demand should dictate a drop in price, not an increase.

We now learn the problem is "investor optimism" regarding an improved economy. That means the GRB hedgie-wedgies, Wall Street, and Day-Traders are doing a number on us AGAIN in their quest for profit.

Hey guys, what part of no economy improvement don't you understand and didn't you folk start the economic setback back a few years ago when you went for that $4 gas?

People whose jobs you cost are still unemployed to the tune of almost 10%.

It's definitely time for the government to do something about you.

How about world-wide closing down all stock and commodity markets until you develop a conscience or learn to play better with each other.

How about taxing obscene profits to the tune of 80-85%?

These Guys Really Need Constraints on Their Greed. --RoadDog
