The only reason gas is so high is our dollar isn't worth crap (that's why opec will switch to euros instead of using the dollar standard) and the price of oil is pretty much set by gamblers who predict how high it should be..

I guess when you elect an oil man(who never found oil lol) what do you expect.. Like Bill Maher said "If cornel sanders was elected president and chicken tripled in price something would be done"
I see the truck drivers protesting in Washington and planning a slow down, if they decide to go on strike it could get REALLY bad as food is already though the roof because of gas prices..
