The Great Mooose

This is great news america, finally  our lawmakers are doing something responsible for the american people.  Gas prices are averaging over 4 dollars a gallon across the USA. Yes I know europe pays more for oil but we produce allot of oil in the US aswell. But anyways I know it passed the house and still has to go through the senate and then has to be signed by the president. However H.R 6377, the Energy Markets Emergency Act passed the House overwhelmingly by a bipartisan vote of 402 - 19.  I’m hoping that the hot air in the senate vote to enact this bill bipartisan just like the house did so that we can show these speculators and market analysis that enough is enough and to control their gross negligance in spectulating the futures of oil. I’m so tired of the oil companies in the US making money off the poor and middle class. The rich have nothing to worry about as they can afford to spend money on gas however its the people who keep this country running that the constant increase is bleeding us dry. We need our cars to go to work some of us have to travel  more than an hour to work in someplaces. Yes we could carpool and use public transportation however in some places like in Maine and other rural locations where we depend upon our vehicles to get us around we cannot rely on services that are not their.  This is hurting us because we have to choose gas over food and other things because we need to keep a roof over our heads. The cost of living is not keeping up with the pay scales especially in rural area;’s were wages are low like in Maine. Thank god I work for t-mobile and they pay decent in central maine however  wages in central maine to northern maine unless your a doctor or someone very skilled pay chicken feed. But hey i’m starting to feel the pain it costs me on average every fillup to just fill half my tank 40 dollars on average now and I hate to see what winter is goign to be like when I have to fill my oil tank last winter was horrible we had to choose heat over food and other things. I find it funny that now that its starting to hurt small businesses and big businesses that the government is going to start to get involved. The government should have been involved a long time ago. They need to protect the American people that’s why we elected them however yes I know that’s a myth because we don’t elect them businesses and groups elect them. The American people don’t vote people into office money does these days. And in all honesty I hate government control but the oil industry and energy markets are out of control and who is going to stop them. We could stop them but that would take a everyone in the USA to stop purchasing gas a general boycott for a week or so. Litterly shut down this country to a stand still. I know small boycotts of gas around the country have been tried but they failed because we need one which is country wide and organized. I know that is very hard to do because I have to work to keep a roof over my head and I know people have their families to take care of. Family is first in my mind and I understand how a mass boycott would effect families that is why i reluctantly agree to a control over the trading of oil and energy because temporary government control of this is what is needed to stop the madness of the market and its analysis. We all know if someone spills a barrel of oil the price increases 50 dollars lol. Its priceless. Its time the oil companies and its manipulators to be put on notice that the American people will not put up with their bull shit. If you would like to read more about this go to Fresh Talk @ Blogspot
