Bunsie Rookie Author Idaho Posts:16 Points:836,520 Joined:Aug 2003	Message Posted: May 14, 2012 5:56:14 PM Ignore Bunsie Report Abuse Our gas prices jumped another 10 cents a gallon overnight! So frustrating! And crude prices are below $100 @ barrel!! What gives!? Oh yeah, Memorial Day is coming up - so lets just sock it to the consumers again. This is maddening & totally ridiculous that they have us over a barrel (pun intended) all the time! It is time to get the oil that is in our own country! To hell with Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, & all the other countries that hate us! It is time to stop sending them our money & keep it here in the USA! They hate us so why do we buy oil from them? We have billions & billions right here, lets use it!

"Legal stealing" is the two words that come to mind.
