![]() "Montblack" wrote in message ... ("ET" wrote) Oh, and forgot to mention that people don't drive/fly as much with gas almost triple the price of 5 years ago.... In the late 90's, gasoline at the pump was approx 60¢ for a brief spell (not adding in tax). It just finished running approx $3.00 (not adding in tax) Gas prices have quintupled, inside of 7 years, from extreme to extreme. From extreme to extreme and back again. Of course, China and India were buying a tenth of what they do now. Hell, most of the world has developed a voracious appetite. Capacity here was not as stretched as it is today. And the US continues to block exploration/extraction here, instead "giving it to terrorist and environmentalists". Like the old (really old) adage, America got what it asked for (asked, hell, it threw a wild raving tantrum), but what they asked for is not what they wanted or expected. (Somehow my sympathy meter is on the fritz.) |
