As long as prices for fossil fuels remain as high as they are the majority of, "We People of the United States of America," will continue to go deeper into debt. As long as multinational corporations continue to close factories within our Country and give those jobs to Foreigners within Foreign Countries, more and more people within our Country will lose their homes and maybe become homeless and die on the streets of our once great Nation.

It's a fact that people are spending less of their hard earned money for extras because of those higher fuel prices and the resulting inflation in the cost of food and those other products that keep us healthy and alive. Those retailers who sell those extras will soon go out of business because of the lack of demand for their products. That is exactly what happened after the Arab oil embargo of 1973, and that is what will happen again.

So too, the elected Politicians back in 1973 did little or nothing to reduce those fossil fuel price increases, and the Politicians today are doing absolutely nothing to control the greed of the owners and controllers of those huge multinational oil companies. As a matter of fact, Exon earned a record 43 billion dollars just for one quarter of business. Clearly, they have some very cheap oil somewhere that they're selling to us, based on the current price for a barrel of crude oil in the World market. That stinks, and that is also why they are making such huge profits. I wonder how many other huge multinational oil companies are also reaping huge profits at the expense of the majority of all of the World's people. Don't bother to guess because the results are just about the same.

You see, as long as those fuel prices remain as high, or rise to even higher levels, everyone will suffer except those huge multinational oil companies. They are, in fact, destroying the economy of the United States of America, and yet our do nothing Politicians fail to act for the good of "We People." Their lack of positive action could actually result in the suffering and deaths of tens of thousands of people within our own Country. Already, some people have died because they couldn't afford to heat their home. Is your heating bill each month during this very cold Winter lower than $300.00 a month?

So too, you can move to Florida or some such warmer State and pay a whopping $150.00 per month just to remain cool within your home. No matter how you look at this most serious problem and study the problem, those high energy costs really are destroying our economy and our people. Yes, the lack of positive action to solves this most serious problem tells me exactly who our current batch of elected Politicians truly support.

Do you really believe that the next batch of newly elected Politicians will actually put an end to the greed of the owners and the controllers of those huge multinational corporations? Maybe a few of them will try to save our economy, together with our life savings, but right now I don't have much faith in the chance that will ever happen. Then again, who knows.

Poverty was one of the main causes of the French Revolution, and the King of France lost his head. In our case, we can't remove a head that doesn't exist, but we can recall and/or impeach each and every corrupt Politician who has and, most likely, continues to ignore the wishes of the majority of, "We People of the United States of America." Who will you vote for in 2008?
