That's exactly how I feel about the current rise in gas prices. over printing of the dollar has made it weak and has brought up the gas prices.Wrong.
As I said the current price of gas has nothing to do with market forces or speculation and everything to do with the fact that the US dollar has been steadily falling.
The only way to fix that is with a sound fiscal policy and neither party wants that.
Gasoline Prices Are Not Rising, the Dollar Is Falling - Forbes
The guy who wrote the blog you linked is trying to base the price of gas on the gold standard.
Which is a fail of epic proportions.
Gold has been affected more by rampant speculation than Oil.
And, if you hadn't noticed, the gold standard hasn't been used in quite some time.
it was a comparison that obviously went over your head.
The comparison was predicated on the word "if"
As in if we were still on a sound monetary standard.
And are you denying that the dollar is falling and that is what is contributing in large to the cost of oil rising?
