But, of course, it's the President's fault that summer is here now. Here in the city, there hasn't been a time in my life when gas prices have ever went down in the summer. 31% higher than last year. Did you know that last year at this time we were also approaching summer? Thanks, I love making myself laugh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have him on ignore..............he's a good canary for our lefts latest follies, but I long ago stopped responding directly to his drivel Just the occasional laugh at his desperation............. .

TPS Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Prices have been trending slightly upward ever since OPEC and Russia announced production cuts last year. The most recent spike was a consequence of issues surrounding Iran and Venezuela and Hedge Funds making historic long bets. The latter causes price to overshoot, so we're now experiencing the pull back. My prediction for the year was a trading range of $50-$70 for WTI.

Tiberius Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Quote Lastly, we can see another example of the effects of tariffs on prices unfolding in real time. Last November, President Trump imposed a 21% tariff on Canadian lumber imports, which amount to more than 25% of the lumber used by American homebuilders. Since then, lumber prices are up 32%. The National Association of Home Builders has estimatedthat the tariffs will result in about 9,400 construction jobs lost, while raising the price of the average single-family home by $1,360. https://stevenrattner.com/2018/06/morning-joe-charts-trumps-tariffs-stand-to-punish-more-than-help/ Trump gave us a dollar in tax cuts and now we pay $2.50 in higher prices. I'm so hungry even a bread crumb would taste nice now, but even that was taken from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Even Trump thinks gas prices are too high. And of course, he blames dark skinned foreigners for it. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/trump-declares-oil-prices-high-blames-opec-55873595 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Trade war could wipe out gains of GOP tax law, former top Trump economic adviser says Gary Cohn said that retaliatory tariffs between countries could drive up inflation and prompt American consumers to take on more debt, possibly pushing the country into another economic downturn.
