Gasoline is not at $3.80, it's at $4.50 in most places, down from almost $5.00 and it's because congress is threatening to crack down on speculators. So the Democratic congress has had a positive effect. If you can get it for $3.80 you must be from one of the few places in the country it's available for under $4, maybe South Carolina. Of course it's only 11 cents a gallon in Venezuela. Notice that in eight years Bush has never lifted a finger to bring down oil-gas prices. On the contrary, the rise in energy prices charts perfectly with Bush-Cheney's rise to power. The day after they were first nominated, prices shot up for the first time, they fell again after Jeffords switched parties giving democrats subpoena powers over Cheney's oil crooks (which Cheney stonewalled) then they started rising and rising and rising again, climaxing during the last year of Bush's regime when th oil thieves have decided to take us for everything they can get and run with the money.
