Certainly not. Do you think they care about the U.S. economy or consumer when it doesn't suit their goals to?

They want to get us back into our slow-boiling-frog routine of filling up at the pump and not thinking twice about it. On top of that, we are in the midst of a warmer than forecasted winter and the oil is not moving as fast as they thought it would. Full tanks in Saudi = better price for us. They may have most of the oil, but they can't bathe in it, drink it, or do anything useful with it other than sell it to people who can.
