Five Lies In the Energy Speech

Yesterday I caught Fox News just as they covered the Messiah's campaign  policy speech on energy. He tends to surround himself with mouth-breathing sycophants for these pronouncements because they are non-judgmental and generally dependable for applause. As the speech proceeded I kept encountering non sequiturs. He would pronounce a fact and then within a minute or two state exactly the opposite. Yet the audience of college students didn't seem to notice. Critical thinking? Not so much when the Messiah sermonizes.

Here's what Investor's Business Daily caught:

Five Energy Lies

Is it possible that when the gas prices on February 23 for the last four years are compared and we now pay three times as much per gallon that the voters will ignore that fact and go with the Bamster's speeches? When statistics are showing high production and decreasing demand, how does Adam Smith get inverted so that prices rise?

Forrest Gump Analysis of Speech

I'm wondering if I should go with oak or hickory for the masts on my car. Is linen still in style for sails or do they use acrylics?

... Wait for it ...

By following the retail model of removing all lower-price (and thus, lower profit) offerings from the sales floor: only High-Octane gas available !

The "science" of economics becomes fraudulent in the manipulative hands of MBAs who can't see beyond their profit-bonus checks this quarter. (Same-same in the hands of Keynesian Progressive Marxists.)
