The Reagan administration ushered in the first frontal attack aimed at dismantling the antitrust policies of the United States. The Commodity Futures Modernization Act was passed by a republican controlled Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in December 2000. That is what led to the volatility in oil prices.
all just surface isssues which ignore where this legislation came from and who the framers and supporters of the legislation work(ed) for. these things aren't at all secret, but they are veiled by soundbites like yours.
also, this "democrats went along, but it was republicans who started it" stuff sounds like little children tattling on each other. face it. both parties colluded on the subject and left those they claim to represent footing the bill, while they all became a little more fabulously wealthy.
and since when does the USA control international trade prices? THAT would be the hugest conspiracy of all! what IS true is that US based international corporations, and the finaciers and royaly that own them engineered the price "instability". they are the ONLY one's with the ability to do so, having members in various positions of world government and authority.
do you notice how i used the term "world government"(governance would be the preferred term)? not just the governments of the world, but the world governing organization itself....
