Desolation Row

November 3, 2011

Do you remember a time when a member of Congress was someone you could actually look up to? Do you remember when the art of compromise by politicians was recognized as a leadership quality? Do you remember when elected officials actually put the good of the country and its people before the good of their party? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are probably a Baby Boomer headed toward retirement.

In my 20-plus years of experience covering assorted metalworking industries, I have observed countless petroleum pricing cycles as they waxed and waned their way through the domestic economy.

More than a year ago, this column concerned itself with the U.S. government’s bailout of two of the big three U.S. automobile companies.
