@BeenThereSaidThat What rewriting? Under Bush gas prices went up to around $4 for a while and air travel, food, and other items went up and business blamed it on gas prices. When the gas prices came down (which also was when the elections were getting closer, I don’t know if that is a coincidence or not) the food prices stayed high, but eventually after a loooong time they came back down. Over a year. Then the gas prices went up under Obama, have been for years, and now finally they have come noticeably down (did that start during the midterm election cycle?) and prices for other goods aren’t coming down so fast.
You aren’t trying to say gas prices didn’t go up to around an average if $4 while Bush was President are you? That would be rewriting history. It has been high for more years under Obama, that’s true.
I only used the Bush example because it’s fairly recent history, so people remember it, and it was the only time while I’ve been an adult (so I remember it well) that I was aware of such high gas prices and also the price of food and other goods.
