Gas Prices Plummeting. Awaiting Comments....

Sometimes it does not hurt to throw out a false dilemma and several straw men, to cover your retreat.

Gas Price Charts - 18-Month Average Retail Price

I seem to (vaguely) remember a screed or two from one (or more) of our forum chief economists about high gas prices and our President's incompetence. Interested in their comments.

That is all.

The Demonrats will be along directly to do away with the tax cuts and to implement more taxes to make up for all the time taxes were lower.

come on now Gil ... Presidents do DIRECTLY Control the Price of OIL

Except the Won...when prices were high, it was beyond his control.

"tub-thumping"? Dang, how old is that book?

To refresh your limited memory and intelligence.

In July our incompetent and inept President started ranting about Saudi Arabia increasing their production by 2mbd (million barrels per day). SA did not have that capacity...never have. So SA could not lower prices.

There are a number of reasons why prices are lower:

1. World economic growth is slowing...less demand.

2. US production (US not SA) is at an all time high.

3. The dollar is strong (due to Fed actions mostly, not incompetent President).

IF you are actually paying attention to what is going on OPEC and Russia are considering production CUTS, not increases.

I don't expect you or any of the other morons to understand...but there it is.

Gee Tranny : Have you read this? https://www.oann.com/saudi-arabia-oil-pumping-at-record-high-as-trump-raises-pressure/
Of course then there is this. https://www.mid-day.com/articles/saudi-to-cut-december-oil-exports-by-500000-bpd/19965185

It seems the Saudi's do still have some influence in oil prices.,

It also seems it would not be too bright to make too much stink over Kashoggi.
A Muslim Brotherhood member who was in league with the WAPO.


Any person who writes for the WAPO is an enemy of America.

Gas is below two bucks a gallon in central Texas.

saudi's most certainly have control over gas prices... they lowered them when we started fracking... how soon idiots forget.

That’s not how it works. Prices are set by the trading markets. What the Saudis have control of is their own output.

And that output does have a direct effect on pricing.
