Gas increase reason. If you wanted to know why gas prices have skyrocketed, the big part is the Fed and Bernanke. Right now, they’re pouring more money to service the debt the Obama administration dumped on us, and they’ve flooded the market with cheap dollars, which makes the value of the dollar go down.

Oil is also traded in dollars so the price of oil goes up because the dollar is cheaper. Bernanke is also, by keeping interest rates so artificially low, hurting the seniors in their investments.
