I don't think Democrats have really all that much control over global fuel prices. I think it has a lot more of global demand slowing down around the world due to the global recession. Neither democrats nor republicans can really control something of that magnitude on the global market though both sides claim have claimed this at very points. It's simply not true.

Everything is sold for as much as the market will bear at the point of sale.

Neosporin is priced at $3.98 at Amazon with free S/H. . If that's still too much , buy the generic brand.

No reason for anyone to drill or build new refineries when consumers will pay more for for the output.

Emergency laws had to be installed after Katrina to prevent mom /pop gas stations from gouging. Those same contraints were not however, put on the producers. In any event, the penalties were slaps on the wrist and did not prevent anyone from letting it rip. But by golly, Congress did something, eh.
