SurveyUSA recently came out with a poll in which they asked respondents from all 50 states, “Who do you think is most responsible for rising gas prices?” The outcome of the poll surprised me: It turns out that the plurality of Americans think that the chief culprit in rapidly rising gas prices is our very own [...]
