Fuck that, nationalize the oil companies. Not only do you take profits out of the price, providing breathing room for people at the pump, more importantly you remove their influence from government policy.

Why is our mass transit in the shitter, rail transport moribund? Why is there suburban sprawl, why the hell are we in Iraq? It is all to the benefit of Big Oil, which has exerted it's influence to get us here. Fuck those people, I would divest them of their assets as I would swat a fly. Theirs are crimes against our people, the people of the world, the planet itself.

To be sure we definitely need to get off the oil teat. But have something in place so that the people can work, can afford to eat. To hell with depending upon 'the Market' to regulate human behavior.
