So, who makes the numbers?

Lately as I've placed the nozzle into the gas tank and have watched the numbers spiraling on the fuel pump land on $22, it has left me puzzled. Why in the world have gas prices gone down this much?
Something is just not right.
I flash back to four years ago when I was 17-years-old complaining about gas being $1.50 a gallon. It's gone up to at least $3.87 since, only to plummet back town to about $1.61...
Something is just not right.
This leaves me wondering who was in charge of this decision. At first i was thinking that they lowered because of election year, or to try and help President Bush's approval ratings. Not.(to both the approval and election gimmick).
I'm really going to look into this when I have more time. It's quite amazing, this decrease of more than fifty percent. Strange things are happening.
And
Something is just not right.
The baffling part to me is that no one seems to be questioning it. It's only when prices go up that we ask questions. Not only that, the government is giving out trillions in bailout cash. Like an ice cream man handing out free Popsicles on the fourth of July, every one wants too cool off, but is there enough to go around? Really?
And what about the ice cream man...has he made enough money be able to give out Popsicles now and to buy more ice cream for later? Hmm
Where is he getting his funding from?
