IT"S ALL GREED ALL THE TIME

Who in there right mind would invite former president G. W. Bush to speak on the economy or fuel costs. does he not have a big stake in oil?, is he not the moron that let this country fall. the G stand for Greedy the W stands for worthless. of which he is both! That moron should be deported to his home country, (that would not be america) He should have been empeached for stupidity and greed. That sorry sack of crap should go into hiding and never show that greedy double face again. He is the definition of Greed in this country, along with AIG and all the other greedy morons that like to live on the tax payers dime. Times should change why cant we as the people that make up this country live on there dime? Why is it Bush filled nafta with loop holes? so employers can start there slave labor camps in countries that dont have the sfatey and health standards we do. Look at the Crap thats come from China over the last few years, Poison toys, poison baby formula. and if any one watched the olympics, did you notice every one in China was wearing dust masks, probably because there are so many american companies over there polluting the place. LOWER GAS PRICES AND BRING OUR JOBS BACK YOU SLIME BALL TRADER!!

Dollar price

If we say that the oil demand incresses as the dollar goes weak. but lookinat it from supply and demand: when the oil demand increses there is an increase in the demand of dollar. hence the dollar shud strenghthen with increaes in oil. But that is not a case seen in the present scenario. if some one could explain me why we have the same cycle of oil prices goin high and dollar weakning or in present scenario oil prices weakning and dollar is on a up hill ride.

Inflation

It's late February, 2009. Nearly a year after this article was written. The Fed is continuing to pump hundreds of billions into our now anemic body of our currency. The world is pouring currency into their soveign nations as a slow-motion solution to the chaos of economic decline. Housing foreclosures must stop but little acknowldegement seems apparent with this issue. Oil and most all commodies are cheap but oil simmers ever slightly higher. Just as we think we might lift ourselves out of this depression, banks and investors await to ambush oppotunities just at the right moment. The side-lined hundreds of billions will then pour into the economy. Like buzzards waiting for the body to quit life, investors will nearly at once elbow like jackels for profitable morsels. Oil and all comododies will jump. The feeding frenzy will present its own chos which will swell into a tidal wave of inflation. And this, not fully undestood, is what many are hoping for. Opt for a little home on a nice piece of land in the country, just as a hedge.

Oil scam

I think that the oil companies are completly and totally scaming us because just 10-20 years ago gas was just shy of a dollar and now it is almost 5 dollars and it shouldn't be that high, exxon alone made over five billion dollars in prophet, over 5 bilion in the past year!

gas prices - inflation

It's not that things are getting more expensive, it's actually the value of the dollar declining. For every dollar the FED prints, it makes the value of the rest of the dollars in circulation, less valuable. Now that the US is over 9 TRILLION in debt, no wonder the value of the dollar has lost more than 90% of it's value since the FED took over our money supply in 1913. Think about it, why is a silver dollar so obviously more valuable than the fake FED paper dollars masquerading around like real money. Get rid of the FED and let us return to a currency backed by gold and silver...as is demanded in the US Constitution! The fact that Congress has the authority to print our currency INTEREST FREE, but instead chooses to borrow from the FED at interest, it's just crazy to me. Ultimately, the PEOPLE decide what will be our currency...not our government. Look for other forms of currency and quit using the fiat paper dollars.
