oil would be $25/barrel if we had a dollar like our 90s dollar. There is no sense in you denying this. And why did our dollar crash anyway? Answer: Bush twin deficits and sick economy that never recovered from what should have been a mild recession. Fortunately, Bush will be out soon but he was able to reappoint Greenspan. I would have preferred Kerry to get in there and appoint Robert Rubin to the post. We won't have any recovery in oil or our economy until Bush the disaster is out.

Actually Bob, it would be a lot better if WE bicycled! We're a bunch of fat, gas-sucking, SUV driving slobs. Bush has done nothing to promote economy, conservation, and personal sacrifice to help our country. Do you think it's just a coincidence that he and Cheney are ex-oilmen? His solution is to pump oil wherever it is, damn the enviornment and the future. He knows he won't be around then.

Supply and demand is a factor but that should have only pushed the price up a few Bucks. Currently the Opec target price for oil is $25! It's been as high as 70% higher than that price but Opec won't raise production. Why? Because the rest of the world, especially in the Middle East, hates Bush and his invasion of Iraq. Also when selling to Europe Opec doesn't want to get LESS Euros for it's oil so they hold back to get an larger number of American dollars. Supply and demand is a convenient argument for the Bush administration but it's only part of the dynamic. It’s typical Bush – pass the buck and try and blame someone else. Just like the prisoner scandal – don’t take responsibility for your policies.
