Michele Bachmann clearly doesn’t understand oil markets

That’s right. She’s going to somehow figure out how to manipulate a global market to bring the cost of gasoline down. Somehow. Maybe she’ll make the dollar ridiculously more valuable and set off a massive deflationary spiral that would destroy the economy. Maybe she’ll destroy the economy to make demand for oil so low that the price will plummet. I don’t know; I’m not the candidate, and the candidate hasn’t explained exactly how she’d get this done. Because there’s no way you can explain how to get this done. It’s nigh impossible, but if it were possible, it would absolutely hinge on the economy being in tatters.
