Congress should be ashamed of itself.....

IDIOTS!!!!!!

Every single one of them.....IDIOTS!!!!!

Study simple economics for a minute and stop feeding your egos with a bunch of CO2 emitting speeches.....I AM SICK TO DEATH OF ALL THE TALKING THAT GOES ON IN WASHINGTON WITH NOTHING PRODUCTIVE EVER GETTING DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PATRICK LEAHY, NANCY PELOSI, BARBARA BOXER et al.......SHUT THE HELL UP AND THINK! Even if it's for the first time in your lives.....When the hell are you going to wise up?
SUE OPEC?????????? What's that going to accomplish except to piss them off so they won't sell us ANY oil. Allow the development of some resources at home. I drive a 21 year-old Mustang that gets 35 MPG and passes emissions testing every year and I still hate $4.00 a gallon gas.

You WILL NOT SEE a break in the speculative price spiral upwards until there is a reason for that break to happen. PANDERING TO EVERY LOONY ENVIRONMENTALIST WHACK-JOB ISN'T GOING TO GIVE THE SPECULATORS ANY REASON TO THINK THERE WILL BE MORE PRODUCTION WHICH WOULD LOWER PRICES......

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW STOPPING THE FILLING OF THE PETROLEUM RESERVE WORKED OUT.....OIL IS UP $7.00 A BARREL SINCE THAT LITTLE MARVY. AND GAS PRICES JUMPED ANOTHER 15 CENTS. THANKS NANCY, BARBARA AND PATRICK..... THAT WAS A TRUE LEADERSHIP STATEMENT!!!!! (BUT ONLY OF GIMMICKS, GRANDSTANDING, AND EGO FEEDING.....THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO PRACTICAL VALUE)

BITCHING AT OIL COMPANY EXECUTIVES IS POINTLESS. THEY DIDN'T CREATE THE PROBLEM!!!! BAD GOVERNMENT POLICY CAUSED THE PROBLEM!!!! ARE YOU SO NAIVE AS TO THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE THE BIG BAD UNITED STATES of AMERICA WANTS SAUDI ARABIA TO PUMP MORE OIL THEY WILL ROLL OVER AND SAY "YES MASSA' WE GET'S TO PUMPIN' RIGHT AWAY"? THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

If you want to HAVE A DECENT AMERICA FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP TO YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND STOP THIS MADNESS.....WE NEED TO PROTECT WHAT ECONOMY WE HAVE LEFT AND STOP SHIPPING OUR NATIONAL WEALTH OVER SEAS.....

THE DOLLAR IS WEAK BECAUSE OUR LEADERSHIP IS RUDDERLESS FROM THE TOP DOWN. OTHER WORLD GOVERNMENTS NO LONGER HAVE FAITH IN OUR ECONOMY. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT TO HAVE A VIABLE, DYNAMIC, GROWING ECONOMY IT CANNOT BE SADDLED WITH DEBT, AND IT CANNOT BE RUN BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CONCEPT OF LIVING WITHIN A BUDGET (PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS)

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST RETURN TO FISCAL SANITY.....LEAN AND MEAN.....I would hope also that every day "Joe Sixpack" like me would understand that you can improve your standard of living by eliminating debt.....It's the credit card payments that are killing you.....Pay them off and cut them up.....and most of all......If you can't afford to pay cash.....you probably don't need it.

If every credit card in this country was cut up tomorrow there would be a short term hitch in the retail sector......but ultimately (AND THE BANKS DON'T WANT YOU TO FIGURE THIS OUT BECAUSE THEY LOVE THOSE INTEREST PAYMENTS) you would have far MORE DISPOSABLE INCOME OVER THE LONG TERM IF YOU PAY CASH!!!!.....Which Ultimately means you could have a better quality of life.....

The best thing that could happen would be for consumers to rediscover the joy of delayed gratification. You appreciate those big purchases alot more when you have to save money to buy them......

HMMMMMM.......and it's high time the POLITICIANS figure that out too.....you can do more with less......Balance the budget, pay down the national debt.....Reduce taxes to stimulate the economy and guess what? TAX REVENUES GO UP!!!! Imagine that.....and without all that pesky interest on the national debt maybe we could pay for some new roads or water infrastructure.....AND INVEST in some of those alternative energy technologies to make them viable, REALISTIC alternatives.....Not just gimmicks to satisfy the loony left.
