Major RANT here, I am so darn sick of it__the news! the gas prices, the people loosing jobs

[tdgirl]

Gas is slowly going down but that will soon stop and go back up. I was reading an article today that OPEC is getting together to reduce oil production to make the barrels of oil go up in price. The article said something like "why sell 200 gallons of oil for $100 when you can sell 100 of gallons for $200?" or something like that. Why not 10 years ago didn't the government start then to help get us off foreign oil? I think the economy would be slightly different now if we had invested more into alternatives back then. :shrug7:

Wanna hear something sad about our dependence on foreighn oil?
richard Nixon, used it as part of his "platform" or "promise to"when he ran for president
He was elected, then he had to resign, before getting impeached!

No one president can ever do what they hope to do, they only can try.
there is no quick fix!
not a stimulus check or a rescue package...
