Gas prices are going up. I don't know if you've seen it in your neighborhood in the USA, but USA-wide they are soaring. We are suddenly back up to nearly $2/gal. in Chicago, up from $1.60 just a few weeks ago. What's more, analysts predict it reaching $3/gal. by summer!! Now, if that's true, let us remember that in 1991 we were willing to back a war based largely on a $0.50/gal increase in fuel.
Now, here's my real bitch: Halliburton. This company recently took over 1/6 of the world's oil supplies in Iraq. Well, within months of it taking over, we have a scandal where Halliburton is overcharging by LARGE amounts on the Iraq contract. Now, gas prices are going up AND Halliburton is awarded the permanent contract. I SMELL A RAT! Something is afoot, my friends, and I don't know what the nefarious reasons are for Halliburton's incompetence AND governmental support, but I DO suspect a link to Cheney.
Let us see how this plays out.
