I think part of the gas price problem may be all of the commodity speculators and traders involved in the world markets.

Let's hope our government(us tapayer's) don't get stuck again bailing out these traders in some way when their market goes bust (like the the housing market) and have long taken their profits and jumped ship.

By the way, where's all that Iraq oil that should be helping? Let's get it pumping and into the markets!

Further, let's start getting a larger price for our food from these countries with all the oil who can't easily grow crops in the desert sand.
