Yes, my typo — I meant $30/barrel. But my point is that oil held steady for 16 years until we went into Iraq. I’m sure demand from China and India contributed to the run-up in price, but let’s not forget that Dubya (and Cheney) are close pals with most of those “greedy oil companies.” I don’t recall Al Gore or Clinton being on the board of Halliburton, Exxon or any of those other energy-sucking giants.
