is the direct result of the FED printing all that new money for Wall Street investment banks. Instead of letting banks fail, our money system makes the currency pay the tab.

People would scream at Washington DC to change this system, except they don't understand it; so they don't put together the headlines. All they see is Bernanke talking about repairing balance sheets and urging more raising of capital, and they see gas prices soaring; they have no idea the two items are related.
