Unless the original price increase was a ploy to f*ck with our minds..Scenario one:
$1.10 to $1.80 to $1.50
Two years later, we are paying $0.40 more, are happy (some even thrilled) with our government's handling, and wary of overseas oil interests.
But who in the government is really interested in selling american oil? Hmm.. who's from texas? Who would even be involved with big business that controls such things?
theoretical scenario two:
$1.10 to $1.30 to $1.50
Two years later, we are paying $0.40 more, and dont care for our government's handling of the continued inflation.
