I realize that this crisis has not happened overnight.
That Big Oil companies are the very foundation that
puts Presidents in office..and are
STILL exempt from explaining their actions as well
as even opening their books to the IRS!
That Said..
Oil companies themselves are price gouging the American people.
With billions of dollars in profits,
while still adhering to the WORLD market price
is only another way of controlling the price..
and sucking every last cent,
to their power& control crazed actions from our people!
There is no way that they can shut down refineries in
California
and then plead that they NEED more
of these to be able to lower the price...
or that drilling is the answer ,
since they ship most of the oil pumped in Alaska to Japan
and out of the United States after we built the very pipeline
in order to make this possible.........
Or that while appearing before Congress in the fall of last year,
the prices could dip more than a dollar a gallon
and then on the slow road that has brought us here.hiked it backup
10-50 cents a gallon till we reach now........
Sen Frist and his 100 rebate was laughable..
trying to soothe the soul of the American people with double talk
and I did enjoy the interview on CBS,
when the reporter asked him if he was indeed a Senator from Miss.
and if it was true....
That children in that state did not go to school last
Friday and Monday because the schools cannot afford gas for the buses to run.....
Shut his tail up in a hurry.!!!!!!
I know this will not happen under a Republican Watch but the answer is REGULATION
The government of the US has the right to regulate anything
used by all citizens if they NEED it for everyday use..
Example:ELECTRIC COMPANIES
Our threats to Iran are whats really causing the price hike ,
as China & Russia are now turning into the suppliers of the world
for everyday products
( thanx Republicans for shipping all of our Jobs and Companies over there too)
and thus can now afford and are in competition
for the very oil that we so desperately need to work and school.........
The ramifications of the actions of this administration are endless.....
and the ONLY thing I am looking forward to is
Election of a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS this fall.....
and make all of these Greedy -Lying bastards that pretend to have
the needs of America at heart in their actions....
Have to answer for them!!!!!!!
Vote Democratic...
Make Bush open the Books and Explain Himself!!!!!
Thats after you get done walking to work.......
.if you could even go ,
because your kids are home from school!!!!!!!
Thats my take on it........
