Maybe you did not notice. But gasoline prices only went back to early 1970s prices. And just like in the 1970s, when price of gasoline doubled, sale of gas guzzlers continued unabated. Meanwhile a president was losing a foreign war that had no purpose, and lying constantly. Country was leaching money everywhere with government debts skyrocketing. Inflation and stagflation would then result many years later. Does history repeat itself?

Meanwhile, draft was reinstated because the military could not recruit enough volunteers for a war based in presidental lies.
