When Economics is not Understood

...you get riots over price increases.

Two lorry drivers have been killed in fuel protests in Spain and Portugal as the hauliers' strike continues.

One was killed in the Spanish city of Granada when he was run over by a van trying to drive through a picket line.

The other driver died after reportedly trying to stop a lorry at a barricade near Alcanena, north of the Portuguese capital Lisbon, on Tuesday.

Spaniards are stockpiling fuel and food as hauliers blockade major cities in protest at rising diesel prices.

Repeal the law of supply and demand! It's unjust!

Oh yes, and blame Bush!
