And to hell with blaming Bush for this. I remember when Clinton was in office that there was a huge spike in gas prices at one point.
The whole system is flawed. Oil shouldn't be traded as a commidity. If a popular analyst comes out and predicts that gas prices will go way up in the near future, then they do...just because of the reactions based off of their predicitons.
The gas prices should be based on how much it costs to produce the gas, not on what it is trading at.[/b]#1 I wasnt blaming Bush. That was someone elses argument. I blame greedy oil companies.
#2 The US doesnt even come close to the european transit system. True, I havent been there but one of my employees goes 3 times a year and swears by it.
Agree that gas shouldnt be traded as a commodity though.
