Before we get into it...first lets take a good look at the truth. The crippling and unnecessary rise in gas prices can be stopped by one simple move; if congress would repeal the [Enron] loop hole, then the proper regulatory agency could put a lid on the amount of the price of gas, period.

The Enron loophole is, just another stealth mechanism that allows the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. 

Now lets review the propaganda:

The key to progress in the fight to free the American consumer from foreign oil, is to support high gas prices.  The common justification for this [kill um with the cure,] strategy is this: only by attrition can we force the American, consumer to participate in making changes in our nations dependence on foreign oil.

Only by forcing people into bankruptcy and foreclosure can we hope to change the attitude of the average consumer to buy American made fuel efficient vehicles.

So once again the End Justifies the Means.  It is ironic that the people promoting this killer cure of higher gas prices; as an incentive to modifying consumer habits, are people who are invested in oil futures or make enough money to afford the higher gas.

Now most politicians are anxious to jump on the “Drill Baby Drill,” band wagon. Why?  Oil lobbyist dollars for their next campaign, is the real answer, but they claim they are trying to protect our way of life as their foundation of reasoning.

They say that at $2.74 a gallon will force the public to buy the Toyota Prius, and other low fuel consumption vehicles.

They totally over look how many families will be forced to choose between groceries and paying their mortgages.   How many more layoffs this country will see as the added gas prices reduce the labor budget, for many small businesses. 

Then there is the effect that the higher gas prices will have on rebuilding the national economy, that alone should motivate the powers that be to stop the insanity/greed...but no...as long as they personally profit from the siege against the middle class they pretend to be too busy with other matters to really pay attention to what’s taking place.

We our without true leaders at a time when we most need them.  They are so busy taking care of themselves we are forced to endure unnecessary hardship and a future the bodes even worse consequences for the average citizen.

Only God can help us now.
