If it were, we'd have prices at the pump in the 1.50 range.

It wasn't high gas prices that got us in the recession in the first place - it was the manipulation of the housing finance industry by Democrats. What WILL get us into another recession is higher taxes and continued reckless spending by the Obozo administration...you know, the same administration that promised us "Recovery Summer" a couple of years ago but delivered squat. They clearly don't have any idea what makes for a vibrant economy, so we're really screwed for the next 4 years.

So the "blue states" have an artificial shortage and pay higher prices than the red states. This is price manipulation by the oil companies and refineries.It is wrong.
