It is supply & demand that makes a free capitalism economy work. The problem with gas is for the last 30 yr our own government has done MUCH to prevent drilling & the building of refinery's here, thus curtailing supply. Add that to the fact that China and other 3rd world countries now have a large increase in demand, there's a bigger problem of supply.
Obama's answer is to inflate - but "We can't inflate our way out of this problem!"

We must DRILL FOR OIL. Increase supply and stop punishing American's.

I couldn't agree with you more char!

That's not and entirely true assessment of supply and demand. Notice that when we even THREATEN to drill more here the price drops $20/barrel. China and India (places where a growing economy is important still) subsidize their oil so people can afford more of it. Here we tax it to death and wonder why the price is so high.

Can someone remind me what the U.S. is preserving their oil reserves for? When do these guys plan to use this oil?

From a christian's perspective, I've heard that this planet may not make it another 100 years before god retakes control. So does the U.S. plan to use it after the rapture or is the oil reserve gonna be the lake of fire where the evil people will burn? Heck I don't knonw. someone fill me in.

What the heck is the U.S. waiting for? I bought groceries this weekend and I almost always get the same items every month except my bill was almost twice as high. This domino effect gas prices is causing is digging deeper into my pocket than I had realized.

I agree with chard. Oil is not part of the so called free market thanks to the muslims.

We better act quick as Russia is fastly becoming a Petro State. Check it out.

I'm all for alternative means of energy but dangit, let's drill yesterday!

I'am with you scotty. We should have started in 1973.

You got that right furb.

That all sounds good, PackerBacker, but then Gilligan...er, I mean Obama would just come along and screw it all up.
