Just like the way we feed the pharmaceutical companies. They charge what they want, and the government pays it.

If you haven't realized it, lobbyists decide what happens here.
Transport costs?

Thats a lie if they tell you that.

There is a tank farm on Picket streat in Fairfax...

It supplies most of the area for miles...

Fuel prices 50 miles away with fuel delivered from this tank farm is usually 50 cents a gallon cheaper than fuel 1/4 mile down the street. Not the other way around.
