NEW YORK — Oil prices fell below $130 a barrel for the first time in more than a month Thursday, as a dramatic slide entered a third day along with a sharp sell-off in natural gas.

Well not to say anything about the republicans because I do lean that way more then as a demo.... We all know as the presenditial election nears the price of oil will drop.... political reasons alone will cause this to happen... (still far off from that point but just a thought when I read this)

Yeah.

If oil drops in half from $140 to $70.00 a barrel how much do you think gas will be? hehehehehe. Do you think it will be half the $4.10 +- a gal it is now? NO. Does this make any sense? No not to the average American.

What else can we do to drop the price? Our countries population has gone from 250 million people to 300 million people. How much gas do the extra 50 million illegals use alot. The government must get rid of the illeagls. They are driving up the cost of fuel as well as the Chinese in China. OUR GOVERNMENT MUST DO SOMETHING TO STOP BOTH THESE PROBLEMS in order to help stop the increases in fuel prices.
