Imagine how much we'd be getting screwed if they didnt "grill" the oil
execs a few weeks ago?

3 cheers for our elected leaders!!!

You really want gas prices to come down? Forget about the couple of pennies
on the dollar that you might be able to wring out of the oil companies.
Increasing supply is about the only way to do it, and that means opening up
new areas to drilling, and looking for alternative energy sources that are
actually cost effective.

By the way, even with rising prices, federal and state governments still
make more money on gasoline than the oil companies do.
