I solved the Oil Price Mystery
Yesterday on the way home from work I was scanning the radio dial for anything interesting and stopped on Rush. I usually can’t stand listening to him, although I generally categorize myself as a Republican, I am freethinking and not one of his sheep. He reported a direct correlation between the poor economy and the election of a Democratic Congress in 2006. He stated that “they wanted change, and well…the got it” citing gasoline prices, high crude oil costs, foreclosures and the like. I thought that the generalized statement that our current economic woes are caused by our elected legislators was a huge non-sequitor that unfortunately the sheeple gobble up like candy.
I decided that if he could prattle on about a cause so could I, so I decided to find a correlation the cost of a barrel of oil with something random and present it as fact. What I found was amazing even to me.
