It's March 24th 2026 and this statement still reigns true all these years later

So, lets see, the Queen Bee, the most powerful woman in the US Congress, the groups who write laws, has not only done nothing, zero, nadda, but has sat on her manicured nails while gasoline almost doubled. She has accomplished nothing. Now, years later, I have heard nothing but how the Messiah Obama is going to provide "change" to America. The same type of change as the Democrat leader of the U.S. House of Representatives changed? I am not sure I see the advantage here. A man wants to re... [ More ]

My previous question remain un answered. Eveyone says Bush got us here. Show me a statement from the half-white guy that gives any indication, what does he plan to do to reduce the price of oil, thus the price of gas????? He has said nothing. He knows nothing. Therefore he is less smart then Bush! Where is the answer? I wanto to know an answer. As President, what can he do, single handedly, that Bush cannot do - to lower the price of oil, this gasoline? Haven't seen an answer yet!!! D-U-H... [ More ]

Without getting into a long discussion about each president and his blunders or achievements, why is it that Bush supporters can point a finger and say "Jimmy Carter was the reason we had inflation" but won't accept any responsibility for our current economic recession? I can only look at my life and I know it was much better when Bill Clinton was president.

What exactly, are they going to implement, on their own, without support from the Congress? How, EXACTLY are they going to resolve it? Tenaj says: Bush has shown us what a president can do without Congress. EXACTLY what Bush did more than any other president combined in the history of the White House when it came down to what congress passed.

If you have been paying attention gas will go to $12 to $15 per gallon regardless of what happens to the economy. We are entering a period of wealth destruction. You might as well start cutting back right now and figure ways to save money before you really get slammed. Do not buy foreign products if you can possibly help it because of the fuel consumed to make them and transport them here. If you have cable TV cut it back or have it shut off. Walk and carpool as much as you can. Plan your... [ More ]

Name one thing that either one of them has commited to do to resolve this economy problem? What exactly, are they going to implement, on their own, without support from the Congress? If one of them is to be our new President, then one of them has to deal with this problem. How, EXACTLY are they going to resolve it? Surely, each of them is so intelligent, they have a percise plan, one not thought of by the current President. I've looked around, NO ONE in either party has presented a s... [ More ]

What's next? Your defense of this atrocity, the war, caused by Bush? Or it'll be your defense on the 400,000,000.00... That's right folks...400 million a day, that's 12 billion a month. And now he can't help himself but to attack Iran. This current war has just become too boring. He needs more unrest. It just boils my blood to see people advocating crap like this. It sounds like Rush Bimbo always defending the prices while his 80 million dollar a year contract sails over comfort... [ More ]

This oil crisis did not happen over night, it took years to get where we are today. When the Congress started manipulating laws on who we can trade with, it impacted the value of the dollar. When we buy more then we sell, the dollar looses value. Because Americans love their cheap toys, electronic gear, and foriegn made clothes, the dollar dropped in value. The more you see made in another country on the tag on the clothes you buy and the toys you buy for your kids, or the iPod that plays yo... [ More ]

And rumors of Bush attacking Iran in August will make the speculators at the markets jump for joy, cause they'll have the opportunity to raise the prices even more. Everytime some foreign affair burps, they cry panic. It's called fear pricing.

I looked at a graph on the US Gas Prices Website and there were two areas of high spikes both under GW Bush, Jr. He ,even though not single handedly ,is to blame because HE IS THE ONE IN CHARGE! Everyone knows that the Captain is ultimately responsible for what happens to his ship and this one is sinking under George. If I made $4.00 a gallon money, I wouldn't mind paying it..but alas..I don't and I am sure many don't. To see how gas prices have affected us, the town rolls itself up at around 6:30 in the evening..no joy riding or anything too much. I used to see the young kids riding in their cars..not too much anymore. My business has just about pooped out because no one has money to spend. I really don't expect things to get better but I do expect for them to become tolerable. 90% of Americans are now saying that the cost of gas has impacted them negatively.
