I think this is our one spark of hope in the economic crisis. If people can find a way to leverage this break, maybe we can start digging ourselves out.

Gas usually goes down right before a presidents end term. It'll go right back up

I wonder what all the people smugly driving around with "When Bush took office, gas was $1.46" bumper stickers must be thinking now.

Given that...

The slowdown is global, meaning reduced demand in China, which along with India has been one of the driving forces behind the rising cost of oil per barrel.

I'd imagine they're thinking that trashing the the global economy to lower gas prices is probably not such a good deal.

Those smug people are like that.

Really? Where did you hear that? I'm looking at http://www.randomuseless.info/gasprice/usa.txt and not seeing that at all. At most, there is a couple cents' difference between November of some election years and the following Januaries. Not the $2 drop we're seeing now.

AAA is predicting that the prices will continue to fall through the end of the year.

Man, and I thought $1.52 was good here...

up here in manitoba Canada the gas is at 89.9 cents a litre this summer it was at 1.43

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #58 on:** November 24, 2008, 04:44:32 PM »

Still $1.77 here in Orlando. Considering that it was $4.50 just a couple months ago, though, I'm not complaining.

That sounds about right, it's consistent with their penchant for laying blame.

Since some people refuse to accept responsibility for their actions, laying blame is kinda thrust upon them.

Some people are very tall and merciless. Quincy is destroying San Antonio.

The second half of your sentence is correct. The first half proves my point about political myopia.

I'm not sure how it proves your point, since I was joking. If I were serious, I would point to the "Clinton recession" which started a couple months after Bill Clinton left office and the "Obama recession" that is occurring before Barack Obama even takes office.

I would also point to the silly url tags adding a bunch of spaces after they are closed.

The dot-com bubble peaked in March 2000 and declined for the next 18 months leading up to 9/11. If it's a Bush recession, it's a Clinton recession. Else, correctly, it's neither. Then there's also the matter of how you must point to pundits to find someone blaming one man for an international economy, whereas for me to find the same, I need only point directly at yourself.

That, and you have given zero indication of any humor in your previous posts. I'm a screen reader, not a mind reader.
