How much did you pay for gas?
#16
LOL, you should see me chew out a democrat when they screw up [sly]

Beleive this or not, I am republican and have been my whole life. I have changed my veiws on some things when I became affected directly do to inept pratices and poor judgments by those I have chose to lead my government.

I call them like I see them.

as for there being a law for charging what ever you want for your product, there is a law agianst it. the governer of michigan as I mentioned in an earlier post called up the oil companies and demanded a 60 decrease in price emediatly or she was going to turn on the oil pumps again in michigan.

we have a number of poeple here in michigan going to jail for gouging. breaking both state and federal antitrust laws.

here is a little know fact, the oil companies of this country made more bottom line proffits in the last physical quater than they did during the whole decade of the 1960's

when you talk about futures you know what happens when the laws of suply and demand are broken? when shortages are created by embargos, when you cut back on production and create a demand. Grandholm chalanged that law of product and demand by the mear threat of putting crude oil on the market. with in a few days our gas prices dropped 60 cents on the gallon.

there is a lot to be learned from this not just how bad our government is running national defence, it opens up a great big o'l heman can of rotten worms.

as fare as a national defence why is 1/4 of the refineries sitting in one generalized area? stupid if you asked me. why are people building homes below sea level? stupid if you ask me. Why deploy our major military force over sease and shut down bases here in the home land? stupid if you ask me, Why did we have to wait 3 days to get helicopters from canada and ready to eat meals from mexico for a natural disaster affected area? dosnt matter which polotical partisin is holding office... It reminded me of this kid who I worked with in a machiein shop, just because his machien was on automatic pilot he thought he could sleep on the job. I took pictures of him sleeping on the job drewl runing out of his mouth while humping my bumper for in some cases less money and fixing the parts he screwed up.

you talk about welfare there are all kinds, keeping some one on the job when they are clearly not doing their job is welfare too.... I couldnt tell you the number of times I was called at my home and gotten out of bed to come in and fix his screwups.

I strongly beleive that if you dont agree with something your government dose you should speak out, you are part of that government prossess and it is your responcibility to do so.... if I look the other way because it is my political partisin then that would make me guilty of sleeping on the job......

remember this the next time you look at the deductions on your pay check, theis people work for you, and you pay their wages befor you feed your own kids and put a roof over thier heads.
