    Please help to reduce gas prices by imposing limits on oil speculators. For a family of five, we have to decide what groceries we can afford for the week. When gas prices are high, we decide "what do we absolutely need" to get by. It's hard to explain to a 6 year old boy that he can't have any extra snacks because we can't afford groceries this week. My 17 year old daughter works as many hours as she can while attending high school and post secondary college just so she can afford the gas to drive back and forth to classes. How do we tell our aging parents not to skip going to the doctor because they can't afford to put the gas in their car. Imagine how much the economy would improve if consumers were able to put more money into the economy through housing, retail, medical, food, entertainment instead of putting it into the pockets of the oil spectators and companies. PLEASE help.
