Possibly. I have simply lost faith that politicians actually have the best interest of the people in mind unless they think it will help them keep power. However, an oppressively high price and a recession should be enough to drive them into action.

I'm with you and distrust the politicians because they are mostly there for personal benefit and power.

One of the main functions of government is to stop monopolies and in this case with oil, I think there is lots of collusion.
