Here is something that if our

Here is something that if our elected people wanted to do something for the people

And what would you suggest?

Our elected officials, state and federal, have no control over global oil prices, which have the most direct effect on the pump prices. Unless you're suggesting they take over the oil companies. Wouldn't that be.... socialist?

Well we could start buy

Well we could start buy taking oil off the futures market they are the people running the prices up. There are plenty of things they could do trust me but the problem is that people pay people not to worry about those types of things. We have plenty of our own oil in our country if we would use it the demand for global oil would drop and guess what would happen then? If the USA would get serious and market our and Canada's oil trust me the price would drop like a rock. Or we can use your thinking and except the idea gee we cant do anything.
