Oil companies make much more than 50 cents a gallon. They control the entire pipeline from ground to pump. The gas they produce at $3.50 costs the same to them as it did under Clinton when it cost us $1.75.

How dare you lie to the thread with a dishonest claim like that. Exxon just made the biggest profits in the history of the planet. That was directly juiced by their massive gouging. And it all started the day after Bush-Cheney were first nominated.

Also, it's already PROVEN the GOP politicians can bring down the price of gas 50 cents in one day. Hastert (and democrats in congress) did it by ordering the Big Oil Fat cats in for a grilling. A few Republicans even said the words "windfall profits taxes" and "break-up of monopoly" and sure enough the price of gas plummeted. But it went straight back up against once Hastert caved in to Big Oil and proved it was all for show.

No accident that when democrats were in charge we had $1.75 gasoline and health care was 50% cheaper as well.
