I'm all about small government and government staying out of our lives, but isn't it about time the US government stepped in and said enough is enough? High oil prices are crushing our economy, not to mention my wallet. The US gov't needs to seize control of all American-owned petroleum companies, do all the foreign oil purchasing itself, and set a ceiling on what it will pay per barrel.
Again, I don't like big, interfering governments, or any type of socialism, but 100 dollars per barrel is ridiculous. Need i remind anyone that 8 years ago, street prices for unleaded gasoline were ONE FIFTH of what they were today?
