If Higher Gas Prices Indicate a Growing Economy, Then Explain Why Gas Was $5/Gallon in the Summer of 2008? [250x204 - 10KB] (pic8.co)

The economy tanked in 2008 due to the housing crash.
George Bush owned a oil company called Spectrum 7 and the whole Bush family made their fortune in the oil and gas industry, so therefore Dubya wanted to cash out as much as he could before his presidency was up because shortly before the 2008 election, gas was down to around $1.50/gallon.

I feel like they do that to do two things...1) line the pockets of the transporters of fuel and 2) make it impossible to pay for gas AND your mortgage so you default and the bank can acquire the property and resell to keep the vicious interest cycle going
