4 1964 US quarter would have bought you 3 gallons of gas in 1964n

those same 4 coins would buy you 7 gallons of gas today


Gas is dirt cheap eve. With the Obama administration annoying the Middle East. It is our acceptance if allowing government to mandate the use of paper money backed by nothing that is the problem.

As to the question of whether a president "can do a lot to control gas prices," theNew York Times/CBS News poll found that 54% of Americans believe they can and 36% saying they can't.



We're doomed.

Also, the comments on that site are a riot. Tons of morons who seem to really believe that gas would go down to $2.50 tomorrow if Obama just waved his pen.



Yep, thank you democrats and the media for pounding that in these idiots heads during 8 years of Bush

The big difference, you effing moron, is that bush DID go into Iraq. Like that would have NOTHING to do with obstructing the flow of oil.

Yeah that excuse is all you dumbasses have. I believe gas was under 2 bucks when Bush left office.

Is this supposed to be a serious point?

The situation is that the market is being gamed to the point that the laws of supply and demand no longer apply. This is the result of foolish trade and economic policy as well as corporate ownership of the government (i.e. fascism).

This point has been made here before, I think the last time I heard it was when gas was $4 a gallon a few years ago. Of course oil was $150 a barrel then as well.

I'm not really sure what to do about it, though. Someone suggested passing a law which required everyone who "bought" oil or gasoline on the market to physically take possession of it, which would essentially eliminate trade in those commodities. Is this a workable solution? I honestly do not know what to do about it.
