Posted: 5/30/2008 10:00:45 AM | | Saw on CNN this morning that in investigation by the CRC or whatever it's called is going on due to eveidence of manipulation by the speculators on these high oil prices, in other words they are driving up prices so high falsely & just to make a ton of money. They were deregulated in 2003 & have been pushing all the limits & clearly breaking rules, if there were any in place.. Wow finally the congress is noticing all this and getting involved saying we want the report by next week. So the "official report" that we've all been just been too stupid & happy to pay rip off prices, will be out ASAP. The reporter actually said, when it comes out to say what we believe it will the US people are going to be very angry. Really? will this finally get them outraged?? doubt it. But I have said for years all these price increases were just the government allowing it to go on & sure enough I was right! the deregulation the Bush adm. implemented allowed this whole mess. hate to say it but "told you so" ! | |

I'm guessing invest in condoms, and in case of product failure, prenatal vitamins, and in about 8-9 months, disposable diapers... | |

There’s something else behind this scam that we may never see. Oil is plentiful. China is growing, but still not as developed as we are. All these factors play into the media’s government issue reasons. But again, let’s face it. Democracy is dead, we now live in a republic. | |
