Thanks for all the great replies. I was on digg today and found a great article about what led up to our having such hi gas prices and other commodities as well. The first part of the article is about repubs. blocking a bill that is supposed to fix some of this speculation issue. but if you read lower in the article it talks about the oil and what is driving it up. I would definitely say it is worth a read. Any thought's ?
