I would agree with Obama then. Gas prices are the one bright spot for consumers right now. While I would agree that we do need to explore alternative energies and we don't need to revert back to wasteful driving habits, I don't think the govt should raise gas prices and keep the profits. My question about gas prices is: if retail prices (such as groceries) and power bills went up because gas went up, when are those prices going to start falling to reflect the current gas prices?
