Weekenders: Seems the dollars we spend at the pump are of the same value as the dollars we pay for crude. So if if a devalued $ boosts the number of them required to buy a barrel, pump prices would necessarily increase by the same number of $$, all things being equal. (I know, I know.) So we must all accept the devalued $ hurts us at the pump.
But wait! If today it takes 20 fewer of those devalued $$ to buy that barrel of crude, I'm being told we still need just as many of those cheap $$ to purchase the pump juice?
I certainly hope Mr. Garner is correct, because if a drop in per barrel price does not show at the pump, it would then follow that any increase in cheap $$ required to purchase oil will not be accompanied by an increase in pump prices.
Thirty some years ago, a politician said he only knew of one person in the country who understood the dollar, and that was a mid level bureaucrat working at Treasury. Listening to the "experts" and watching them work tends to solidify the accuracy of that observation.
