Comments on: Crude’s Cheap; Government Is Expensive https://barelyablog.com/crudes-cheap-government-is-expensive/ by ilana mercer Fri, 04 Jul 2025 18:55:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Robert Glisson https://barelyablog.com/crudes-cheap-government-is-expensive/comment-page-1/#comment-22492 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:25:53 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=49890#comment-22492 When someone claims that gas is getting too expensive, remember when gas was thirty cents a gallon. I get lots of attention when I counter with “Gas is still thirty cents a gallon or a little less. It’s the dollar that is worth less than a cent today.” You can see the little minds furrow and a slow dawn of comprehension form. It’s a beautiful moment.

My only dissent is that gold itself is a speculative item – which probably puts me in line for excommunication.

Real wealth is produced through a combination of sweat and ingenuity – not through Federal Reserve stimuli or Fannie Mae loans. Until people understand that we will have idiotic leftist or rightist blowhard politicians claiming how they can deliver cheap gas, affordable housing, universal Mayo Clinic medical care, etc.
PROVIDED WE ELECT THEM!!!

The economy would be better if all our politicians would keep their hands off economic meddling and just go out and play golf and have sex. Bring back Bill Clinton!

Around about August, I plan on having “O” wealth in dollars and dollar-denominated paper…’cause that’s when the balloon goes up in the Middle East, and the dollar goes down for the count.
