In being an American, travel is an important part of our lives. Many commute to work while others only travel to the grocery store. For many, this is a problem. People are scraping together their spare spending money just to be able to put gas in their car to take their child to the doctor or get themselves to work. This has caused a trend that the higher the price for gas rises, the less the average family can afford to spend. This means many families are going without a weeks worth of food, new pants for children, or that yearly vacation they take. There needs to be a cap or level put in place that tells those companies that here in America, we will no longer tolerate an upwards of $5 a gallon anymore!
