Prices are rising - blame freedom
“The CFTC has been under pressure from U.S. lawmakers to crack down on speculators they blame for pushing energy prices to record levels.”
If the energy prices have been pushed unreasonably high by speculation, thank God! That means they will drop back to appropriate levels given some time. If the prices are ridiculous and will be corrected, why waste your time and our money probing? Adding regulation and oversight is essentially blaming freedom. Is it really freedom’s fault?
