It used to be supply and demand, then the demand shrank, but so did the dollar. Now futures are driving the price supposedly. It's always something driving the price up. Most of the time it's only speculative. Someone farts in Nigeria and we pay for it at the pump.
And the suggestion of removing $18,000,000,000 worth of tax breaks only made them threaten us with higher prices yet. They have the loaded gun and are not about to surrender anything.
So they are pumping us in both ends and we keep saying, "harder, harder".
