What's Bush doing about gas?

To the editor:

I recently read an announcement from AAA that stated that the average cost of gasoline had reached $2 a gallon. This is a cost that affects all income brackets, yet I have not read of a response from the Bush administration stating what it is doing to stop the increases and even reverse the upward trend.

I would also like to know why the cost of gas at the pump goes up daily even when no new gas had been delivered to the station. Who determines that an increase at the pumps is needed and when? Instead of wasting taxpayers' money looking into steroid use in baseball, why doesn't Congress look into the obvious price fixing by oil companies and the station owners? Could it be because of the fact that it has been the oil and gas companies that have bailed out our president all of his adult life?
