The point was that Bush has allowed the value of our currency to decline significantly. Therefore, anything we buy from abroad costs significantly more. The Bushies don't want us to put that together, of course. It might really tick us off.PICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279534910153052872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583071384880320326.post-7753443112144737462008-06-26T09:12:00.000-07:002008-06-26T09:12:00.000-07:00???

I get that it is just a reality check, but what if we do that with pesos or whatever the Iraqi (or Egyptian or ??) currency is?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583071384880320326.post-88084649857820847362008-06-24T07:48:00.000-07:002008-06-24T07:48:00.000-07:00Symsess--Good point!

NOT.<BR/>And thank YOU for the good work.<BR/><BR/>Phred--I hear half of it has to do with the +/- 50% drop in the value of the dollar related to the Euro.<BR/>I heard on Air America the other day that if we paid in Euros, we'd be paying $2.50/gallon. Made sense to me, anyway.PICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279534910153052872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583071384880320326.post-15080088142766167012008-06-24T05:32:00.000-07:002008-06-24T05:32:00.000-07:00Hello, hope all is well.I don't know if you've hea...Hello, hope all is well.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you've heard of the recent campaign to send in drill bits to congress to get them to drill in ANWAR, but apparently some people think that having the same companies that overcharge us from overseas will somehow give us better prices if they drill domestically. Of course these are probably the same people that championed the war with Iraq as a way to get cheaper oil.

My skeptical gut suggests there is more at play here than a squeeze on supply, and even more than speculators having a field day (is there such a thing as windfall profits taxes on oil speculators?). Can't put my finger on it, but it's there...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
