I fondly remember the good old days when gas cost only $2. Now I have to pay more and more at the pump. How did we get ourselves into this mess? Why are we paying so much?
The simple and honest answer is because of George Bush. He doesn't care if Americans pay more for gas. His buddies in the oil business are doing great and when "Dubya" leaves office it won't surprise me if he buys another ranch or two with his oil profits.
You and I in the meantime are stuck in traffic losing money by the second. Shrub says we have to fight in Iraq and maybe in Iran. We all know what is going to happen if we send troops to Iran. Prices for fuel will zoom into into the stratosphere. You thought $3.50 gas was high!
What can we do as Americans to stop this insanity. Well for starters, elect a president who has common sense. We need a president who doesn't drop bombs that kill and maim thousands because he thought they had weapons of mass destruction. Secondly, we need a president who is not too cozy with the big oil companies. That would be a great start.
