Trump: Gasoline to Hit $7 a Gallon This Year
Money News ^ | Tuesday, 21 Feb 2012 08:55 AM | Forrest Jones

Gasoline prices could soar as high as $7 a gallon this summer thanks to supply threats stemming from Middle East unrest as well as OPEC policy, says real estate mogul Donald Trump.

Iran has already cut off supply to France and to the U.K. to protest sanctions from the west, who accuse Tehran of developing a nuclear weapons program.

U.S. military officials have said they feel they can ration with Iran, although fears are growing that Israel may consider a unilateral strike on Iran anyway, which is sending crude oil skyrocketing.

Master Blaster runs Bartertown!

Wrong....Master Blaster runs Underworld.

The little one is called Master.
He's the brains.
He runs Underworld.
The other one is Blaster.
He's the muscle.

If $7 bucks is all it takes to send the Kenyan packing....I’ll sacrifice and drive more.

$7 dollar gas would breathe some life into volt sales.

I think people are mostly immune to $4 gas. People will pay that to go to work and run errands. $5 dollar gas is killer for people in the leisure business. People won't be buying boats and going on long driving vacations. US median income has fallen since the last energy crisis

If it hits $7.00 in the near future, the prices of everything will fall dramatically, and that will not be a pleasant experience for most of us.

“U.S. military officials have said they feel they can ration with Iran..”

What in blazes does that mean? I knew the American media was filled with chattering 20 IQ Marxist apes, but this is ridiculous.

Right, that is his MO and he is proud of it, suck in the investors with the Trump name and then milk ‘em for what they are worth.

$7 a gallon gas and it is Mad Max time

$7 gas and I fear this country will literally explode.

It's looking more and more likely that SHTF this year.
How many of y'all remember thinking we were sounding 'too alarmist' about this communist muslim homo piece of shite in '07-08 ???

I often regretted not having had any children of my own.
Those regrets come much less often to mind these days.

SO VERY MANY tongues are being bitten at the moment, but the sentiments are boiling away out there nonetheless - by the tens of millions.

Trump is right when he talks about OPEC and China ripping the U.S. off.Trump says the following in the article:

Don't blame speculators on rising prices either. OPEC countries are ensuring prices stay high by regulating output, Trump said.

“OPEC is the one that's setting the prices and OPEC is laughing at us like nobody’s ever laughed before,” Trump says, adding swings in energy prices threaten the U.S. more than big banks, which continue to receive blame from politicians, regulators and the Occupy Wall Street movement for the economy's woes.

My problem is I’m immune to $7 as well. Wouldn’t change a thing for me but....wait for it...I would Effing notice it and it would piss me off just as much as the guy skimming a penny off the top of a gallon of gas.

And every time I think about people who can’t I wonder what will happen to them.

We’ll probably have to get someone from DU to be the guy with buttless chaps and a dude riding bitch on his motorcycle.

No shortage of volunteers, that’s how they already dress at DU.

Yeah, so let’s talk about Satan, and what made this country great, as the leading GOP candidate is now doing. But heck, it’s a good thing he’s not a manager and not a visionary! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Exactly. But, after tonight's Debate, we won't have to worry about RS anymore. It's common knowledge he missed a great opportunity to close the deal and he was the worst on the stage. So.....we won't have to worry about trying to construe or justify his comments anymore. After the two Primaries coming up on Tuesday, he will be another "FORMER FRONT-RUNNER" headed off into the sunset to join Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Pawlenty and Huntsman. He was terrible tonight. He's toast.
