are you better off than you were 8 years ago?

This graph says it all.

If you are an oil company or a country like Saudi Arabia, times are fucking awesome! You main product, oil, is selling for its highest price since President Reagan. Oil now costs 10 TIMES more than it did near the end of President Clinton's office.

I just dont get it. I thought the whole point of invading Iraq was to get their oil. Well, we have p0wned Iraq for 4 years now, shouldn't our gasoline be free by this point?
