BS... the factories I work with here in the US are so busy they can’t keep up with demand. Businesses are starting to spend money... they want the product and they want it now. Methinks it’s because they know Obama is toast.
There are factories in the US that are busy?
Not in this economy.
If demand for oil was high, the prices would not fall.
Oil prices are plummeting, just like the economy.
Any enterprise that makes business decisions based on an assumption 0bama is headed for defeat is led by fools. The election is wayyy too far off... and the gnat-like attention spans of voters won`t let them understand the structural weaknesses in the economy that have laid the groundwork for the price drop... i.e., relative strength in the dollar, vs. other global currencies; dropoffs in manufacturing and durable goods orders, etc. All they`re going to see are gas prices (by then very likely) below $3, and 0bama is going to benefit politically.
