Here’s some answers for the oil companies’ greed and arrogance: threat of government takeover, criminal investigation for price manipulation and fraud, suspend stock and futures trading. For oil companies in foreign companies: trade embargo.
These oil companies are gouging the public and the hard working, middle class is suffering. The politicians are either afraid or paid off. Reagan would have none of this foolishness; Truman would have locked them up.
It is time for action. The American people are fed up.
If Bush and Congress got serious about this, we would see the price of gas quickly get down to $1 - $2 a gallon.

What is it with these capitalist pig animals? Why do we continue to be allowed to trade futures? Stop this ridiculous crap. Close the entire market for 6 months and see what a better world we’ll have, these aren’t free thinkers but normal thinkers normal capitalist pigs that must be punished.

According to Michael Greenberger former director of commodities futures and speculation trading is the sole cause of all fuel cost being so high.

Can the President declare war on these perpetrators since they have crippled our economy?
If this is a fact. What does that make all those claiming for the last several years it is supply and demand, weather…?
Why does our government refuse to end the future and speculation, or at least provide the oversight and transparency that would put an immediate halt to this?

Why not? Discontinue oil and gas future (and stock) trading so we can reduce the price of fuel? More and more people are saying the prices are going up because of speculators and not supply and demand
