Clinton To Put Gravity Under Scrutiny

Start your day with TPM.

What is Hillary talking about? She’s going to break up the OPEC oil cartel? Because we have such a strong hand to play now with the OPEC member states? And isn’t the main issue here a matter of rising demand, principally for rapidly expanding economies in Asia, not monopoly pricing?

Hillary is certainly not the first candidate to bash the oil producing states or oil companies around election time. And the polls seem to show it’s working for her. But I’m concerned about the widening gap between reality and her campaign trail statements. First with the pledge to obliterate Iran if they attack Israel, then the rebellion against economists and now this.

Where are we going here?
