$3.79/gallon yesterday on my way home. Was $3.41/gallon in April. Do people still vote their pocketbook?
Will they continue to vote Republican?
Is there seriously nothing to be done? Oil companies are more powerful than the last super power in the world, the USA?
The Republican spin is to trust the free market. Is that supply and demand? People aren't buying SUVs anymore. People are not going on vacation because of the high gas prices, which translates into high airfare as well as filling up the family auto.
And yet prices keep going up and up.
Isn't this simply collusion and price gouging? Demand goes down but price goes up? The Republican solution? Do nothing. Be happy we aren't paying $8/ gallon like in socialist Europe. This is their argument for unregulated capitalism?
It's time for a change. McCain = Bush...more of the same. What were gas prices before W started his war of choice? $1.27/gallon. This war hasn't made us safer and has only helped the wealthy.
