They don't know enough to take a look at the gas prices during the last year or two, and factoring in inflation, see that there was a huge net increase. |

That's the irony of the most recent congression hearings into the large oil company profits. The oil companies make about 7 1/2% profit. The government makes almost 20%...but nobody is investigating the government's profits! |
