Are you upset with the high fuel prices? You are obviously not alone, as it seems many people are quite enraged over the whole thing. Some say that the economy can be sustained with such high oil prices, although that is not entirely so. In fact it greatly affects profits in small businesses. It will also cause harm to families trying to save for college, buy Christmas Presents, pay off credit card bills, or generally live well. For those living in colder climates in the United States, they receive a double whammy with high heating bills in Winter plus high gasoline and diesel prices. Gasoline prices at $2.30 to $2.65 are not doing anyone any favors and it is a cost which cannot be absorbed by those who are living on the edge of a sustainable lifestyle. If this does not upset you then you are not listening. Now then why are things like this? Well, we have curtailed the processing and drilling for oil in our nation. We have produced lawsuits instead of efficiencies in building our infrastructure. We have allowed attacks and over regulation to stifle our best companies and now we are paying for all that. Doesnt it just piss you off that those who came before us caused all these high prices you are paying today at the pump? Think on it, we need some policy changes. |
