I have a few issues/comments with this thread. This isn't directed to any poster... I'm just stating what I know... or feel that is correct based on events since 2001.
First of all... George Bush is or should be accountable for all of this. If you say he shouldn't then there's something wrong with you. Again, not in any specific order... but here are the events.
You have some imbecile putting a white substance in first class letters and throwing them in mailboxes... we're going to call this "Anthrax" and a major scare to our society. Yet, we "mysteriously" haven't found this person?
You have the Twin Towers fall... in N.Y. because of an aircraft that flew directly into the building.
You have this war in which we had to mysteriously invade this country because of "weapons of mass destruction" and/or possibly had to invade because we're irrate and pissed off because innocent people were killed at ground zero. Nice plot. Come to find out... we have several thousands of our own people dead... (futhermore dead) and we're still searching for these weapons of mass destruction.
While all of this BS is going on.. gas prices are again... "mysteriously" creeping upward. Cowlin Powell resigns... "mysteriously" maybe he knew the truth involved with all the BS that was going on? Didn't want to be a part of it?
Did I mention through all of this... gas prices are climbing upward? Oh yes, I did... I forgot. Not to pay for the war right? Not at all? Just use our US Tax Dollars? That should be enough, right? Not exactly.
George Bush was a C.E.O. of an energy company back in the 70's wasn't he? He would be the one to figure out a solution, correct? I mean... that's his trade. He would know it better than anyone... yet has never made a "direct" statement indicating what we should do about high gas prices? All he ever said... "We need a better economy. It should help the economy." What will help George W? What the Fu#$ are you talking about? Speak English! Since George is good with energy... I would only assume he would know what stocks to choose from. It's absolutely incredible that the "energy" portion of stocks are sky rocketing... but your basic... more simple... easy solution stocks... are suffering? The Dow keeps on climbing on these days... yet you would only assume it's going to crash?
True or false... 8% off all citizens on the USA are EXTREMELY WEALTHY? Meaning... their assets would offset their debt. You answer.
True or false... 96% of all citizens owe $1.00 or more to somebody? You can answer anytime....
So even if you factored in 30% of the population lives a decent life. Where they have no worries... etc. 30% of us control the stock market?
96% of people are in debt though.... so why are they even buying stocks?
Shouldn't they be getting out of debt first? My point is... all of this we are witnessing today... on June 6, 2008... has to be fixed. The math doesn't add up.
It's an absolute shame for us to live our lives like this. $5.00 for a gallon of gas? I believe we have more reserves than "they" want you to know. I also believe they as a president of the USA you better tell your people exactly WTF is going on. Not in any speech has George Bush explained how we're going to handle this. Every night that clown shouldn't even be able to sleep at night because our country is failing!!!! When you give your heart to society... and to something you believe in... you get emotional... you hurt inside... you show sometimes desperation. George Bush doesn't act desperate... he doesn't get emotional... he doesn't care about you or I... yet somehow he was voted in. When you care about your job... or your position... you give out answers... you explain what you are going to do or about to do. All he talked about was WAR!!! Weapons of Mass Destruction!!! WHAT A CROCK of SH#$!!!! There comes a time in your life... when you say... if the gambling world is fixed... anything can or will be fixed.... until someone stops it. But how do you stop it... if it's your own president? You can't. Only God can...
This simply can't be repaired. Auto makers were ready to make major changes... and for some reason... did not get the OK from the government. Why didn't they get the ok? Because of greed... all this crude oil. All of this money is going into someone's pocket. This has nothing to do with low supply and high demand. The government knows everything... they knew what could happen when the first Hummer.. Navigator... any SUV came out. They knew how many people existed...
My father worked for Standard Oil back in 1975... he drove a tanker... double tanker to be exact. Worked is way up in the company until found a better position with another company in the early 80's. A major supervisor from Standard Oil/Amoco was my dad's friend... and one night they were drunk... went out drinking... and this supervisor opened up and said... "Richard... we could practically give gasoline out to the people for free we've got so much of it... and little overhead." Now yes, it was around the early 80's but... what was a gallon of gas back then? $0.75 cents? I don't know... I actually don't remember? But my point is... he said they could give it out for free. Now, some people know that I'm involved with the tanning industry... and I will let the cat out of the bag... my cost on a bronzing session costs me around $0.21 cents to run the bed in 2008. That cost includes electricity, sanitizing solution, and lamp usage. But my retail price is $8.00 a walk in. Look at the profit I'm making. Sure you can get it cheaper... but that's my retail price... and that's not inflated. That's the going price. Could I come down? Absolutely... In fact... I honestly wouldn't turn anyone away... even if they offered me $3.00
That's why this entire thing to me is BS. Our president isn't telling the truth. There's absolutely no excuse for a gallon of gas to be over $2.00.... absolutely no reason. I'm not saying our country is better than anyone elses... but damn it... that's what everyone thought in the 80's and early 90's. Don't mess with the U.S...
We have the ability... to have already known this. (gas problem) Pardon my grammar... but Bush's tenure is almost over... and by far he is the worse president of all time... and he came into office with such heavy positive momentum... and really fu#$ed us all. All he had to do... was run a simple game plan. He didn't want that... he wanted more power and he failed... and it crippled us.
