Some of us doubtless remember the problems that occurred with gas pumps when the price exceeded 99.9 cents per gallon. And - we'll have the same issues again I expect when it tops $ 9.99 per gallon. I know how to fix it so there are no more problems of this sort: Congress can FIX the price of gas at $.99 per gallon and make OPEC subsidize the rest - after all, they've got a few trillions of our dollars from selling us oil for many years, they should be able to afford it.

It's what keep the rich filthy. Without it, there would be no such thing as "trillions of dollars spent" and "record profits in the billions" said anymore, considering there would probably be no wars over trying to get it. And who would then buy off our senators and congressmen if it weren't big oil, pharma, and military contracting?
Of course the food industries (same crowd in the tippy top ranks, as oil, bank owners) will rape us even more and starve half the world doing it, all for a little traveling money when they leave office. If there is a god, maybe that day a police crew will be standing outside the WH with handcuffs to recover all the money that weasel made off the American public, and give it back. Then they can take him and his sorry ass friends to jail.
There is no doubt in my mind this is planned, all it takes is a few companies in a futures market to keep buying, but who's money is it? Ask that and you might be looking at the bad guys.

Who remembers when the pumps had a problem and need to be redone when gas broke $100 a gallon?
