Government in league with Big Oil, Banking

The Post examines the oil and gas situation and identifies the beneficiaries. Producers and refiners rake in windfall profits. Distributors and station owners barely get by, the latter partly because credit card companies suck up their margin. What can we do about it? Throw the bums out in 2006. Then rescind the industry giveaways in the just-passed energy bill. That money should be invested in sustainable energy. And repeal that horrid bankruptcy wet kiss to the credit card industry. Any Democrat who voted for it needs a primary opponent. Pass stricter mileage requirements. Make W veto them. Make the GOP accountable. Democrats need to make clear to voters who's on the side of the American consumer. There lies the path back to the White House.
