Gas prices are soaring all across the country. In fact, the national average for a regular gallon of gasoline recently hit $4, blowing past the previous record in the summer of 2008. We are definitely seeing this reality reflected in our bank accounts. So what is to blame for this and what do we need to do to get back to pay less at the pump? On this episode, we are joined by Heritage Foundation Research fellow Joel Griffith for a lively conversation with great interaction with our live audience.

One of these debates that resurfaces with every cycle is that of net neutrality. This is the basic idea that internet service providers have to be neutral about the way they provide access to different areas of the Internet.
