DANIEL INDIVIGLIO: The Catch-22 Recovery: We Need to Keep Gas Prices Low. “Since May, the U.S. economy has struggled. From May through July, just 72,000 new jobs per month were created on average. Yet February through April averaged 215,000 per month. What killed the promising progress we were seeing earlier this year? A couple of factors are often blamed, but the biggest problem was rising gas prices.”

Gee, then maybe the Administration might try encouraging more production or something? Instead of pursuing policies designed to make fuel prices skyrocket.
