people dying
- they affect me as I watch my family freeze in the winter, if the country stood united and refused to pay these stupid costs it would destroy the fat cat and goverment crooks who do not give a dam, let them freeze as well.

pain in the gas
- I live on a fixed income enough for food and gas. I try saving my money for the future but higher gas prices take that away. Month of Jan. 2013 in nh we got close to $3.15 now we are at $3.50+ wtf. Are they trying to piss us off! Pump more in the usa let's get back to $2 gas.

commodities
- How about just getting it out of the commodities market where it is affected so much by fear of this fear of that instead of reality "supply and demand" (Too simple)?

It is our own fault.Weekend travel...
- I wish just once us intellengent Americans would all stay off the highways for about two week-ends in a row and the high prices would drop because the oil companies would'nt have a place to store the millions of gallons not used.

We need a regulatory commission
- We need someone - or a commission - appointed (or hired) to watchdog these "future oil speculators" If their paranoid speculation turns out to happen then fine, they were right and that's the cost... we have to accept it. BUT... if their future speculation turns out to be wrong (the demand is lower and the supply is greater than speculated) then these "speculators" should be made to readjust their prices in the consumers favor instead of just lining their pockets with extra profit above and beyond the millions they're already reaping.

Remove Fuel off the speculation Market.
- Lets move fuel to a state run level. Split the purchasing of oil to regional level by state run assemblies. Make fuel government controled. Thats right. Government loves to run everything else, why not something that really helps the public. I see... The fuel industry is more powerful than the worlds governments or their in on it. Which on is it world leaders... Thank you

where does the lost of value in dolar go
- i can hear the same story of losing the money value from decades to another decades. so, where does that money value has gone? if we know its been played by the producers, they why cant we fixed a constant price on that stuff, specially, the gas and food.? after all, economic problems are occured by humans alone, suffered by ourself. instead of playing such cunning games in economy, why can't we just live happily together? mostly, the answer would be, "its complicated & and huge jobs to change it" But, planning for gaining more profit also must be a Huge job, but they did it and they earn profit, so, if we apply the same effort, then we too can Fixed the Economy in Good way for making everyone to survived on this earth, Thanx!!

I can give $1. gallon gasoline
- All we need to do is Nationalize gasoline and you can have a stabilized price of $1. gallon gasoline for life. For $2. a gallon we can add 100% National Health Care coverage. I am willing to pay $2. a gallon gasoline for your/my own free oil under our federal lands. (Other Nationalized country's sell at .18 cents a gallon) I would completely cut the private sector & the $6. corruption gas prices out of th picture. The Army Engineers can run the whole program for us. This country has more oil than it knows what to do with. All above ground storage is topped off, Nat. Reserve full, exporting both gas & oil to foreign country's (while you get gouged), cars using 3-5% less gas a year, less commuters, refinery's cut below 80% production. I think we need a great big sign over America saying, Boy are we stupid!! We do not need to drill, there are capped oil and gas wells all over America. California alone has more oil than most European country's do. So it is up to you citizens!!
