$200/bbl for oil makes real good sense if speculators were driving the market. the fundamentals just as oil companies stated did not justify the high cost. with the threat of Congress doing something about speculators within 2 months the price has gone down.

how do conservatives support that kind of gross screwing of the American public????

To prove this I have been trying to collect data which I believe should verify speculators as the culprits (yikes free marketeers doing what they do ... raping and pillaging to make a buck)
