The cost of oil versus the margin of profit has gotten out of hand. Big oil is breaking the backs of the working class and killing economic recovery. When gas was less than $2 per gallon, people had disposable income which caused spending, which caused economic growth. At the current rate of profiteering by big oil, the economy will never recover. I support free trade as well, but when it is killing the country, it must be addressed. When a company is making more than $7 billion profit per quarter by price gouging, something must be done. They know we have to drive to work, therefore we need gas, and as such we will pay whatever they tell us to.
