I don't think its a conspiracy as much as speculation, Its a world wide problem, so i think its the people actually buying the oil thats responsible. With china and india becoming manufacturing powerhouses, they are buying all the oil they can get. For us (U.S.) and the rest of the world, we got to pay the piper to play. That means pay what the rest of the world pays
I don't think its the gov't doing this, But i do believe there is, or was, a colusion of sorts, that spun out of control. I do however believe, that whoever of the candidates, that does the right thing to help solve this, will win the white house
