"Oils" Well For The Wealthy

Well folks, if you think that the wealthy oil investors will relent and give us a break to save the country from economic peril, don't hold your breath. They care about one thing and one thing only....MONEY!!! Actually it's there overblown egos represented by money. Forget patriotism or any other such worthy traits, they pledge THEIR allegiance to themselves and money. There's so much money sloshing around in their coffers that this oil and gas stuff has become a game to see how high they can get it. That's why it has to be taken out of their hands and controlled like we do with another necessary commodity, water.

Water caused a lot of problems for many people years ago, as the people who controlled it, controlled each of their respective areas of the country. Government got smart and took control of water to give everybody a share without the gouging of the water barons. Oil and gas are now so much a part of our daily economic lives, we're really in a pickle. The Bush Administration believes in all of this free-market crap, and if you were pretty well off, I suppose you'd see that in your own self-interest, too. So this administration has put a twist to a well known saying, "Don't just do something, stand there!!!"

While I can't pretend to know what's been going on behind the scenes, have we put ANY pressure on Bush's buddies in Saudi Arabia to increase production? If I understand it right, the international agency that reports on oil and gas production is now seriously worried that the people with the oil are making so much money, that they will actually CUT BACK production to keep the price skyrocketing. Welcome to Mr. Bush's America.

I've run this before, but unfortunately, it NEVER goes out of style:
