To a nation born of a revolt against taxation without representation, our silent acceptance of surreptitious taxation without notification through currency devaluation bespeaks the vast gulf between Americans now and at the birth of our nation or between our government at its inception and now, or, most likely, both.
There are two things going on here, one with the dollar, the other with the oil.
The situation with the dollar can be summed up as monetization of government debt through enthusiastic printing of fiat currency.
In a nutshell, let us assume that there are 10 dollars in circulation in the whole world and you have 5 and the government has 5. You have, with your 5 dollars, half of the purchasing power of all the dollars in the world. But, the government wants to do something that will cost 15 dollars. So it cranks up the old printing press and cranks out 10 extra dollars. Now the government has 15 dollars, and can do what it wants to do. You still have 5 dollars, but only one quarter of the purchasing power of all the dollars in the world, once word gets around about all those extra dollars. Half of your purchasing power just disappeared.
This is one of the things going on with money today, except the amount stolen is significantly more than half, resulting in the de facto US government theft of the savings, investments, retirement accounts and current purchasing power of American citizens.
If you think that this whole money printing thing is pretty neat, note that what is good for the goose is most definitely not good for the gander; you will be punished greatly if you try this trick on your own…
The situation with oil is simply that every day there is less than there was the day before, and what is left is getting more expensive to get to market.
U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro, while righteously voting for programs that are paid for by government theft, points the accusing finger for the consequences of her actions at the clever folks who have figured out the dirty game.
In other words, the people, who make wise and legal choices to protect themselves and their loved ones from financial hardship and even calamity, are the enemies of every good American citizen who suffers from the severe, and soon to be catastrophic devaluation of savings, investments, retirement accounts and current purchasing power.
The threat implied is that when people get angry at paying twice as much for groceries and fuel as they did a year or two ago, and decide to riot in the streets, they should take it out on their speculating neighbors, and not their government, since taking it out on their government is most definitely not in our governments best interest. And the US government is here to serve its own interests, not ours; I think that’s in the constitution somewhere...
Now you are ready to understand the article below, where the government stooge Rosa DeLauro explains how those who have taken decidedly un-sheep-like steps to protect themselves financially from government theft, are the real reason that gas prices are rising.

My favorite part is where the Emissary of Evil, Walter Lukken, acting chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission revealed, in a pretty straight forward way, the issue-
“We do see supply-and-demand causing all these price changes," he testified — not the cash influx from speculators.
In an elegant and virtually unassailable rebuttal, our heroine Rosa firmly puts the bad man in his proper place, by shrieking, “Won’t someone think about the children?” while waving her arms about.
Be warned, dear consumer, the red pill is bitter, and turns you into evil, economy destroying zombies, who unfairly insist, with their maggot riddled brains, in buying low and selling high and denying the greater good of financial self-sacrifice that can be found by investing in more proper markets.

My advice, Dear Reader?
Take the blue pill; it tastes like…
