Oil prices finished above $80 a barrel for the first time Thursday and gasoline prices rose as refiners reported production problems after Hurricane Humberto hit Texas.
Bart Says: Do the math – $80 a barrel, 5M barrels a day = $400M per day for Bush.
Bart’s Law #2
Any time a person or entity makes a “mistake” that puts extra money (or power) in their pocket, expect them to make that “mistake” again and again and again. That’s why refineries have fires hurricanes now and then, because a fire allows them to scream “unexpected shortage” so they can gouge us on the price of gas.
Next up: $100 a barrel which meanbs $100 fill ups, $160 for SUVs
