and that is a tall order, requiring raised wages, higher taxes on the rich and the corporate, probable tariffs on offshoring in an attempt to encourage the redevelopment of industry here, positive budget numbers, and a reconsideration of the Pentagon's mission and priority. All of that will need to be done to restore some of the dollar's purchasing power in international markets, and THAT is what will bring gas prices down.

Alas, I don't hear any Dems abandoning the twin fallacies of supply side economics and free trade.
