Oil Prices and Political Energy

its very obvious to me that the markets controll supply and demand.if a storm approaches off shore,prices go up,if an uprising seems possible in a foriegn country,prices go up.if our media warns us through very well planned efforts of rising prices by such n such time,prices go up.all these little things happen and prices go up,but do they come back down?no,they just keep finding reasons to go up.there are oil companies that use our oil to supply our oil needs and not depend on foriegn oil.seems to me they could keep our oil prices down (some at least)rather than gouge the u.s. citizens and blame supply and demand.just look at the markets history as long as they stay around 8500(NYSE) rather then way up and beyond reason,john Q citizen can live comfortable.so here's the choice,either we want on paper net worth or cash value,hmmmm.......as long as we have on paper net worth,we will have trouble.....look at it this way,why would banks want to borrow the common citizen money,when they can invest in the markets and get triple or higher on the dollar???????
