Seriously? And just since 2011, huh? WHERE do you live? What planet are you on? ALL political parties are to blame! The problems are: the big oil companies have no REASON to lower prices (why should they, they are making an obscene profit right now & have been for years), & the government will not allow drilling in the US or offshore which causes us to be more dependent on foreign oil...if we used our OWN oil, WE could set the price. If we did that, the big oil companies (who lobby Congress probably by the minute) would lose money... Now that wasn't so hard to understand was it?
Republicans to blame?
