    Please change your screen name. Breaking Bad's viewers are generally perceived to be intelligent. You insult the Chicken Brothers with your stupid crap.

    You have no idea what my political views are. Keep your comments to yourself.

    Ima go out on a limb and say you actually have no political views of your own, and you just regurgitate whatever fear-based ideology that you have been programed for like the other 99% of Debate and Discussion.

    Have you ever heard of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000?

    & commentary:
    http://www.jakestreet.com/oil_speculators_and_the_big_oil.htm

    Obviously not if you think dollar inflation alone is to blame for pump prices increasing three fold in a 10 year span. In 1998 I paid regularly 90 cents/gal at the pump. In summer 2008 [& part of '12] I was paying over $4/gal. This has more to do with deregulation benefiting big money & big oil. [like everything else gone wrong in the 2000's]

    Based on your regurgitation of fear-based propaganda.

    Obama deserves neither the blame nor credit for gas prices. Its a global market people.

    I think a lot of posts are sarcastic in nature responding to texxx.

    You took the lowest price 12 years ago, highest price in 2008 without paying attention to what went on in the world, without taking inflation into account and claimed gas price is 3 times what it was 12 years ago. That is just bad math and bad logic. That is all.

    No, I cited deregulation legislation benefiting Wall St/Big Oil that was passed in 2000 as the main catalyst. That is all.

    Hey no need for any of that you fake BreakingBad fan. Just because you've seen an episode and are jealous doesn't mean you need to go attacking other people.

    I hope you learn from your mistakes.
