Here's an idea.

Call me crazy, but how about stopping the "speculator driven" hedge-funds that have unnecessarily driving up the price of oil?

In a consumer-driven free-market economy that we live in, why do we allow market manipulation like this to occur?

Do you want to hear a really crazy idea? How about we form a group that we could all participate in through elected representatives. It could be an organization that would set up certain operating guidelines that would promote our general welfare as a group (Nation). We could then have this organization look into making some of these possible mitigating factors come to reality. We could call our newfound group a "representative government". Wouldn't that be neat?

On second thought, nevermind. The Globalist oligarchy that runs our current government must know what is best for us.
