The Catholic Cricket

On my way home from work today, I took note of the gas price.

$2.15 (I round that extra $0.009 up)

It seems to me that during the summer, there were times I paid twice that.  $4.30

So what caused the price of gas to drop by 50%?  It wasn’t any government program that I’m aware of.  For all the talking they did during the summer, for all of the concern they expressed, and even that time during the summer recess when Republicans stayed after Speaker Pelosi turned off the lights, our government did nothing that changed the price.

It seems that while the government is ineffectual, the market took care of things all on its own.
