Down for the Count?
Forget $5 per gallon gas, Trump thinks gasoline could be $7 per gallon by this summer. That's $200 per barrel oil. But why pick $200 when you can pull $300 out of your ass and parade it around the room?
For years I was paying about $140 a month for gasoline. Now that I commute I'm paying about $320 per month for gas. About a 56% increase. At $200 per barrel for oil, I'll pay $640 for gasoline. A 78% increase!
In a piece by Wretchard called The Most That You Can Keep, Energy Secretary Chu says, "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” Wretchard goes on to quote some Democrats as saying " a certain amount of poverty — just how much is open to debate — should be an actual policy goal."
I would be poor, unable to find work where I live, unable to relocate and spending $640 per month on fuel to go to work. If I even have work to go to. But Obama and america are perhaps willing, to just write off 25% of the workforce into poverty. Maybe america is down for the count, unable to get up and carry on the fight.
