Can someone please explain to me how the currently rising oil prices are the result of the feds actions and not turmoil in the middle east?
That is a false dichotomy. Rising oil prices are currently caused both by disruptions in its supply due to protests in the Middle East and by the increase in the money supply brought about by the Federal Reserve.
I’d like to know how much oil production is really being disrupted since many of the protestors are unemployed college grads.
