Oil and Gas

-
Oil Companies reported another record quarter. American Drivers pay record prices. OPEC says to prepare for $200 per barrel oil because the dollar is worthless. Congress is sleeping. The President is counting the days. The Presidential Candidates are talking about Sunday Sermons.

Farmers are hurting now because of the rise in Diesel which they need to plow their fields. Fertilizer will be the disaster. The price of oil will cause the price of fertilizer to skyrocket, and the America farmer is now addicted to fertilizer. There will be the inevitable shortage of fertilizer first, and then when the farmers are clamoring for the product, it will become available at a premium price which the farmers will be happy to pay. The American Consumer will ultimately pay in higher food costs.

Does any Congress Member have a plan for energy solutions before the Nation collapses? President Bush says he is open to ideas. McCain and Clinton propose a gas tax holiday that will save the average driver the cost of a half a tank of gas over the course of the summer. This Nation needs an immediate and comprehensive energy plan now. The American Family and small business will collapse under the weight of the cost of energy. Where is the Congressional leadership?

Cairo or New York City, NY

This spring the world witnessed the citizenry of Arab Countries around the world rise up against oppressive government regimes and demand social and economic justice. The United States Government feigned support for these uprisings with support offered by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama along with a host of Republican and Democratic Party Leadership. Today in New York City, New York in the heart of the Financial District young people are occupying and protesting against the economic and social injustice that has taken hold in the United States. Looking at their future, they see none, as it has been stolen from them by the excesses of the Financial Industry which has thrown the world economy and especially the United States Economy into chaos with their greedy quest for profits over growth and stability. As the World watched the regimes of the Arab Dictatorships kill and arrest the protesters in an attempt to forestall the inevitab

First Happy 4th of July, a day to commemorate the founding of a new ideal in governance. A day that should remind us of the Revolutionary values of this Nation. many of the Founding Fathers warned in their writings that in order for this experiment to succeed the People must always be willing to engage in Revolutionary Change to protect Freedom and Liberty.

Congress on Vacation

-
The United States Congress is on a two-week vacation. This is disgusting being that they have failed to accomplish much of anything at a time when the Nation is suffering the poorest economic downturn since the Great Depression and maybe the worst economic downturn of the entire history of the Nation. Since this Congress has been in session they have failed to address the pilferage of the American Consumer by the Credit Card Industry that is charging loan sharking rates on consumer debt. Congress has made sure that the wealthiest Corporations in America received enough federal Bailout money to maintain the conspicuous consumption standard of living that they have become accosted to and they have enough money in their Treasuries to continue political contributions even at the expense of emptying the United States Treasury. There has not even been one piece of legislation proposed by any Congress person or Senator to apply Usury Laws to loan sharking credit card companies, or to demand
