Default The cost of boating just went up. Gas hits all-time high.

You certainly succeeded in demonstrating the absurdity that either
political party controls gas prices.

Oil companies control gas prices.


So buy an oil company, or at least a few shares in one. Prices are
reasonable and most pay a decent dividend.

The truth is that oil companies buy their feedstock and sell their
product in open auction markets. Find out who is bidding up prices
and ask them to stop. This all involves a radical new economic theory
called supply and demand.

As an alternative you can move to Venezuela. They are subsidizing the
price of petro products to their citizens at dirt cheap prices. Some
day they will still have low prices but nothing left to sell.
