Cyclic Gas Prices
While there was a brief relief in gas prices, they have shot up again by about 30-40 cents a gallon. When will President Obama or any of the politicians that have been elected into office realize that they are allowing the Petroleum Industry to decimate the everyday American? More over, while the American public suffers due to their lack of action the economy only worsens as six of the top 12 most profitable companies in the United States continue to gain even stronger profits. Now compare the US to countries like Venezuela or Saudi Arabia, in those two countries gas is equivalent to eight and six cents per gallon (respectively).
It is important that we continue to work on becoming a more efficient nation in terms of fuel consumption, but when the exploitation of prices continues then the politicians are responsible for taking action to protect the American people. Even if this means that domestic production of crude oil needs to be raised. Anything will allow for lower pricing at the pumps and that equals to lower prices throughout the nation on everything else.
