The common denominator


To the side, is a graph of US and Canadian gasoline prices since November, 2006

You'll notice that the price of gasoline was roughly $2.20/gallon on 11/06.

Question, if the Bush administration is responsible for the hike in gas prices since then, who is responsible for the almost mirroring of those gas price increases in Canada. Granted, Karl Rove almost runs the world but I don't think that includes Canada yet.

In addition, here's an article from the Communist News Network (aka CNN) from 11/06 on the unemployment rate. Here's the quote from the article.

The unemployment rate fell to the lowest level in more than five years in October, the government reported Friday, a sign of unexpected strength in the job market.

The jobless rate sank to 4.4 percent from 4.6 percent in September, the Labor Department said. It was the lowest since May 2001. Economists had forecast the rate would hold steady.

Another question....So what changed here?

Bush presided over both eras so it can't be him.

Karl Rove resigned from the White House on 8/07. Maybe his leaving is what changed?

Maybe it's the curse of the Red Sox?

Maybe it's when Brittney Spears started having her emotional problems?

Or maybe, it's the day the democrats took over Congress.

Actually, if you look at the gas prices beginning 1/07, the day they actually took over the Congress, prices shot straight up. Unemployment was at 4.4% on election day 2006.

As soon as Harry "The Weasel" Reid and Nancy Lollapelosi took over the reigns, the shit hit the fans.

Just like they've ruined each and every city they've governed, they're now taking on the rest of the country. At least now, all us small town, gun a& God clinging hicks can be just as poor as the cities these guys run.

As my sister likes to tell me "the scale don't lie".

What's amazing is that Nancy Lollapelosi says the democrats have a plan to bring down gas prices.

What's the plan?

Why are they holding back if it means it could help our hurting middle class?

Put it on Bush's desk and force him to veto it.

Unless, your plan looks like this graph.
