Oil prices rose $11 per barrel today, closing at $139/barrel.
Now, you might ask yourself ‘What was the price of a barrel of crude in 1990?’
$10/barrel.
That’s right, oil prices rose more today, than a whole barrel of oil cost in 1990.
You might ask yourself ‘Why is that?’
Simple. In the past 30 years:
Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum.

Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida.
Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast.
Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast.
Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast.
