(FOX19) - There is so much talk right now about gas prices.

Who's at fault? Is it President Obama for not drilling enough? Is it OPEC for price fixing? Could it be greedy oil companies?

There are many reasons being floated as to why gas prices are so high but there is one that you aren't going to hear from most media and it is tied directly to the value of the dollar in your pocket.

Ben has the Reality Check.

Another awesome piece by Ben Swann, man is this guy the shit or what?!

As simply as Ben laid that out, I cant help but think that it still went over 80% of his viewers heads. Nice explanation though, for sure.

Nice explanation though, for sure.Yeah, I try and remember when I didn't understand monetary policy and how absolutely none of it made any sense to me, and that's probably where a lot of his viewers are coming from...We just have to keep explaining it until people get it.

Yeah, I agree but if it just peaks interest then it's done its job.

Good piece!

He is doing good work, hopefully he sleeps with one eye open...

Maybe I just can't relate to not understanding fiat currency anymore, but I thought the little piece that Ben bit off there was digestible by his audience - provided they want to understand.

Seeing this kind of thing on the news is just plain weird.

Ben is still the man though - make sure to like his facebook page and leave an occasional comment of support!

(also it took me a while to understand as well - but I didn't have anyone to concisely explain it with a few minutes' worth of information)

He mixed up correlation and causation a couple of times and it was not entirely correct how he explained everything. But he had to make it simple and it was still better than every piece of information regarding this topic that ever aired on Fox or CNN (except a couple of Peter Schiff appearances ;D).
