Answer 2

Because the federal reserve has reduced the interest rates. When they reduce the interest rate it drives down the value of the dollar abroad. This is one reason that oil prices are so high. It requires more 'weak' dollars than strong dollars to buy a barrel of oil. The other reason is speculators who have driven up the price. The federal reserve, by the way, is not a political organization. It is neither Republican or Democrat and operates from a financial rather than a political perspective. You know, things do happen outside of the political arena, outside of our government that affect us. As a liberal, I have a feeling you don't realize that. In the liberal mind the world revolves...or should revolve...around the government. But in a free market, not all bad or good things are the result of government or political action. In fact, the reasons the interest rates have dropped is in response to OUR actions, market actions, not the government. The government has responded to the affect of irresponsible lending practices by private industry and private individuals in the free market. On the flip side, Bush's economic plan pulled us out of Clinton's recession and the devastating affects of 9/11 and have kept unemployment at near record lows for about 5 years now. But you don't want to hear any of that. It doesn't jibe with your rant.
