You quoted a US unemployment figure, 4.6%, and I said it is rising,
which is correct. It's up to you to either agree a rise in US
unemployment, or to disagree, not to sidestep the comment with spurious
complaints about perfectly valid charts.

Part of the reason for this rise is the collapse of the US dollar. The
collapse of the US $ against the £ and the ¤ illustrates the rising
quality of life in Europe and the corresponding decline in the US.

If you like. Petrol was $2.14 a year ago and is $2.80 now, give or take
a cent, US average

All that proves is petrol prices are cyclic. Petrol was $2.14 a year ago
and is $2.80 now. US average. Interesting, an upward trend... thus you
are wrong.
It's so easy to destroy your argument, please try harder next time,
thanks!

The US average peaked at $3.24 on 17th May. It's fallen away a little
since but the overall trend is upwards. Expect to pay at least £3.50
next spring, unless something radical happens.
The wild fluctuations in price suggest an unstable market. Under these
circumstances it won't take much to trigger off a rapid increase in
price.

She played a much more crucial role than that. Try again.
