Oil prices are unrealistic
As people make choices between eating and heating their homes this winter --- The depth of this crisis will take hold as people starve or freeze. Our Government is in bed with big oil and they have no idea how hard this is becoming for the average working family -- I used wood, and pellets last year for heat , but now I'm finding wood is in short supply due to the cost to process it. Every logger I've talked to says his costs are rising beyond their ability to produce wood to be competitive -- We need action from our Government -- We innovative Idea's. Somebody needs to go to jail for a long time if this another scam, which I know it is. I have a good job right now and consider myself lucky, I think this winter we as Americans will need to some serious soul searching because so many people will be going with out -- We need to take care of our own, Obama, Bush, They are all rich pri__ , screwem they couldn't really care less-- God Bless the working people of this country
Anxiety over gas and food.
I had my first anxiety attack today at Walmart while I was grocery shopping. Can't go to the doctors because I cant afford insurance. Cut down on my spending, thats what people say to each other, how can you cut any more when you are spending 200 dollars a week to put gas in your two vehicle to get you and your spouse to work. And then get groceries to feed a family of five. It makes me so scared for my childrens future. We can barely make it now how are they going to make it in 15 years. I wish things would change for the better but I dont have time or the energy to do anything about it. I just pray to God.
