I just cant see that. While China and India may be modernizing, they
have their own supply of metals to draw from and they've been doing
so for years - so it's not just that. That is one part of the
equation yes, not all of it. No matter how dramatic the demand has
risen, it hasn't risen enough to make the price of 250' 12/2 Romex
jump from $89 to $140+ in 2 months - that's more than 50%.


It's the oil companies colluding and scheming and carteling to screw the
little guy.

No, wait.....
