   Gas prices collapsed at the end of Bush's presidency, along with the rest of   
   the economy. Prices of everything are running up now due to obsessive, excess   
   money printing, politely known as QE. Which is not actually being tapered, by   
   the way. They've    
   relocated the program to Belgium and they're hoping no one notices that a tiny   
   little country known for cheese and interesting ale has suddenly, inexplicably   
   become the third largest holder of American debt on the planet almost   
   overnight.         
      
   Coming soon to a retail outlet near you: Obvious, visible inflation, which the   
   media will ignore until they can't ignore it any more, and are dragged kicking   
   and screaming into reporting on it as vaguely as possible. They will then   
   announce that it's "   
   Healthy" for us to be paying $4.50 for a loaf of bread. They'll even find a   
   couple brain damaged economists to sell the public on it and act kinda   
   surprised that so many people didn't know that crippling inflation was good   
   for them. They will have to go    
   this route, because if inflation is anything other than wonderful, the Fed   
   will have to raise interest rates to deal with it, and they're not going to do   
   that. The powers that be don't just like the free money that QE provides;   
   they're sucking on it like    
   it was a crack pipe and at this point, they'll let the world burn down if   
   that's what it takes to keep the gravy train rolling.
