Fuel Prices WILL Go Down!

Just as stock prices tend to rise over time (something people won't admit while their own stocks are going down), gas prices will go down. High prices tend to depress usage and depressed usage will always cause prices to go back down. It has happened more than many times in my own lifetime. This will happen naturally, so why do people DEMAND solutions from politicians--sometimes the very politicians whose policies CAUSED the rise in prices? Why can't people understand such a simple thing like NO NEW REFINERIES IN 30 YEARS in America and how that acts on demand that keeps going up while the ability to refine what we have does not? That, coupled with the congressional AND executive ban on most drilling in America and you have high gas prices--which leads to a "shaky economy" caused by high transportation costs related to the high fuel prices that those who CAUSED it can blame on the president in power when it happened--as if the president in power could stop it. Be patient, people. The very pressure created by high fuel prices will eventually cause them to go down. Don't demand the government "solve the problem." That's like sending the fox to solve the problem of disappearing chickens. Government laws and regulations CAUSED the problem. They don't know HOW to "solve the problem." Anything they do will make it worse. Fuel prices will not go down to where they were, but they WILL go down. (Common Sense)
