I am so freaking sick of speculation driving up the price of oil...$133 a barrel? ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Now I know oil prices are going to be higher than 5 years ago but the speed of this increase is not natural. Its based on a bunch of speculators pushing up the price and causing a panic that pushes the price even further. The root of these speculators are the prics that come out and say oil will be $200 next year...blah blah blah...if they didnt come out and try to scare everyone (and thus make a bunch of money it wouldnt be). I can not wait until some day when this oil bubble bursts, and I hope it bursts so quick that all of these oil speculators will loose every single cent they have...down to the clothes on their back!
On another related issue...screw the FED...the system does not work...they have lowered interest rates so much not only have they created a system in which the dollar is ultra weak and meaning that oil prices are even higher which will lead to a recession as consumers spend more and more money on gas and cut back on everything else...but they have also destroyed all hope of fighting the future recession, rates can not be lowered anymore, well pretty much anymore...there next solution will probably be to print money...stupid, rich, tools...crushing the American economy...this is the end of height of American economic power folks, and it was primarily an inside job.
there I am done ranting...
