TPM: Clinton To Put Gravity Under Scrutiny (JMM sounds mystified)

What is Hillary talking about? She's going to break up the OPEC oil cartel? Because we have such a strong hand to play now with the OPEC member states? And isn't the main issue here a matter of rising demand, principally for rapidly expanding economies in Asia, not monopoly pricing?

Hillary is certainly not the first candidate to bash the oil producing states or oil companies around election time. And the polls seem to show it's working for her. But I'm concerned about the widening gap between reality and her campaign trail statements. First with the pledge to obliterate Iran if they attack Israel, then the rebellion against economists and now this.

Where are we going here?

just like after her threat to obliterate Iran.

Thanks for bringing that up. I totally forgot about the possibility of gas prices going up due to her Iran threats. the price of oil going up due to her threats to Iran would totally negate the negligible savings her gas tax holiday would bring.

has got a screw loose.

She has made confrontation with Iran more likely, not less, and I'm sure that doesn't help bring down the price of oil.

In fact, I bet the Iraq war itself has caused oil prices to rise, and not 18 cents worth either.
