I agree with all of you that the government as done anything to stop this kaos of gas prices, but don't let the oil companies off that easy. You don't rake in record profits in the billions of dollars each and every quarter from charging a reasonable price for oil. Yes, we are taxed heavily on gas, but those taxes go to repave and pave the road system that you and I drive on daily. These taxes have to increase with petroleum prices because after all ashpalt contains petroleum. Everything in our country is based somewhat on petroleum whether it be purley for transport or actually containing oil. With oil companies making these record profits our country will go into recession and then depression. It is only a matter time. People cannot keep affording this. And I also agree that we need to wake the polar bears up in Alaska and start tapping into our OWN oil. But I guess in the mean time we need to catch all the fish we can to feed our families in the future!!!!!
