There was a rally in the oil market today and WILL continue to climb. It is so very important that you understand how the oil market WILL affect our daily lives. The pain first starts with fueling your own car. Then you will feel the pain as you watch your grocery bill increase monthly. The reason being, the transportation cost will be passed down to the consumer, being US.
We are also getting a double-whammy with the commodity prices soaring. It will cost the manufacturers of the food we love to eat to pay more for their ingredients therefore passing the cost down to the consumer. I have taken the following article from CNBC who is chock-full-of-nuts with information!
Say good-bye to $3 gas and $4 gas. We will never see these prices again. Expect to be paying $5 per gallon of gas by the 4th of July and it will continue to climb. There are several factors that play into this gross increase, like speculators and hedge fund managers. Nevertheless, the main reason is PURE GREED by the oil companies! They are basing their price per barrel today on a future expected growth rate calculated out to 2030. That's crazy huh. Plus, they know that the WORLD is completely dependent on oil in every which way to survive. They can raised our gas to $20 a gallon and we would have to resentfully pay that damn price to get around town.
I say it is TIME to LIBERATE ourselves from this insanity and our OPPRESSORS! Let the ECO-friendly REVOLUTION begin NOW!!!

Crude oil prices on Wednesday jumped more than $5 to within sight of the record after a report showed stockpiles in the United States fell sharply for the fourth week in a row, intensifying worries of a worsening global crunch.
Weakness in the U.S. dollar and supply problems in OPEC member Nigeria encouraged the rally, dealers said.
"The big crude draw is obviously bullish, but more importantly for the oil markets, the dollar is falling and that could send us back to near $140 a barrel,'' said Mark Waggoner, president of Excel Futures in Huntington Beach, California.
Oil prices have risen nearly seven-fold since 2002 amid rising demand from China and other developing countries, pressuring major consumers like the United States already hobbled by a housing slowdown and credit crunch.
U.S. regulators are also slated to meet this week to discuss oversight of the oil and commodities futures markets amid pressure from lawmakers who also blame speculators for inflation in food and energy costs.
The weak greenback in recent months has drawn BILLIONS of dollars into commodities markets as investors seek a hedge against inflation. [This is what is causing our food prices to sky-rocket]
