RE: "Clinton was acquitted 52 cents ago"

In my last email, I provided figures on gasoline prices
from the Dept. of Energy website. But I noticed the
columns on dates and prices got out of whack in
the transmission of the email. Perhaps the following
will show more clearly the correlation between gasoline prices
and Clinton's impeachment.
(All figures are for the U.S. National average price
per gallon for Unleaded Regular including taxes).
The first date is June 8, 1998 which is 4 months before
the House of Representatives began formal debate on
whether Clinton should be impeached.
(1) 6/8/98.....$1.075
The House of Representatives began the impeachment
debate on October 8, 1998 and the gas price was down 5 cents.
(2) 10/8/98.....$1.02
The House of Representatives voted to impeach on Dec. 19th.
(3) 12/14/98.....$0.945 (94.5 cents 5 days before the vote)
The U.S. Senate acquitted Clinton on Feb. 14, 1999
by which time the gas price had fallen to 90.7 cents.
(4) 02/22/99.....$0.907 (price bottomed 8 days after Senate vote)
After the Senate voted to acquit, the gas price started
back up almost immediately.
(5) It climbed to 91.3 cents by March 1,
(6) On up to 97.7 cents by March 15!
(7) On up to $1.14 by April 12, 1999!
(8) On up to $1.195 by August 2, 1999
(9) On up to $1.268 by September 20, 1999
(10) Now up to $1.421 on February 28, 2000 !
(Latest available Dept. of Energy figures)
These government figures show a 52 cent per gallon
increase in gas prices since Clinton's impeachment
trial in the Senate.

So who paid for Clinton's acquittal?
We all did!
And we are not done paying for it yet!
Now we are told we are having
an "Oil Crisis"!
Clinton to meet with 60 U.S. lawmakers on oil crisis
By KERM YERMAN
President Bill Clinton is to meet with more than 60 U.S. lawmakers and Energy
Secretary Bill Richardson on Thursday from 1630 EST (2130 GMT) to discuss how
sharply higher crude oil prices are impacting consumers.
Some 60 lawmakers are invited to attend the meeting, including a contingent
from the U.S. Northeast, the nation's heaviest home heating oil area, notably
Democrats Sen. Charles Schumer from New York and Sen. Edward Kennedy from
Massachusetts .
Schumer has been a vocal critic of Clinton administration energy policies,
consistently calling for the White House to tap the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve as a way to deflate higher world crude prices.
Northeast consumers have been hit hard by rising energy costs, paying as much
as two times the normal price for home heating oil this winter.
Nationally, higher crude prices have triggered sharp rises in motor
gasoline price levels, making energy a hot political topic and leading top
policymakers to raise concerns that sustained price rises would threaten
economic growth.
