No solutions, just acceptance?

I am under the impression that our current administration is going to do absolutely nothing to help the situation of increasing gas prices. The first step in solving a problem is admitting there is a problem and I must say the pres has done just that. I am disgusted at this point by the response of market analysts predicting the cost of a gallon of gas to increase even more by Memorial Day. No, realllly. Pay me millions of dollars and I'll tell you that. Maybe one day soon, we as a nation will stand up and "encourage" our reps to do something about it before we completely go for broke at the pumps. And yes, I have heard it hundreds of times, "Consumers affect the market and push prices higher." Why on earth are we doing it to ourselves? And if so, I would like to meet those who are driving up my gas prices because I can honestly look back and say at least in the last two years, I am not "consuming" any more than when gas was $1.79 at the pump. I still drive the same vehicle; I live in the same location near my job. The only difference now is $20 used to fill my car up, now $35 should do it (I honestly don't know because I haven't had a full tank of gas in almost a year). Just wanted to say thanks to the man for the not so good times.
