I’m sitting here watching the noon news when they come on with a breaking news alert. One of the reporters was out about town talking to people and getting their reactions to the overnight hike in gas prices. Now, it’s been a ROUGH night/morning here, so I didn’t pay much attention to the news this morning. So I was totally not prepared to see that the sign at the gas station showed the price of regular gas went up to $3.95 over night. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
So, to our oh so lovely President, and ALL members of congress and/or government that “run” this country, I’d simply like to say kiss my butt! How in the heck do you even remotely expect common people to survive this kind of price gouging? You have NO IDEA what it is like to have to scramble around scraping up money to put food on the table or pay your bills. You sit there “running” this country, sucking up every little penny you can off the backs of the people who work their butts off day in and day out hoping and praying they can get by without losing everything they own!
You continue to dump billions upon billions of dollars into a war that cannot be won and needs to end now before you completely bankrupt this country! You pad your pockets every chance you can, yet you continue to cut funding to groups and programs that help people who are working their butts off trying to make it, but just can’t. And now you’re allowing our gasoline prices to reach prices that are ridiculous!
I tell you what, why don’t YOU try to make ends meet paying these prices on the average family’s income? What? What’s that you say? You don’t think you could?? WELL WELCOME TO OUR REALITY! For God’s sake, get off your butts and do something to let the people that put you into your fancy offices know that you really do care about someone other than yourself for once! Give US a break for a change instead of yourself or your “cronies”!
The everyday common people in this country are working their butts off day in and day out and we get NOTHING from you but a slap across the face! You do nothing to protect us from the oil companies taking advantage of us at the gas pumps. You do nothing to assure that we will be able to continue to stay in our homes and feed our families. You made it so that decent, hard working people aren’t eligible for stimulus checks, even members of our military that are serving their country over in Iraq in that God forsaken war that you continue to support and funnel money into!
Frankly, I’m disgusted at the way you are running this country. You don’t do anything decent to cut corners, instead you cut the things that help the people who need it the most. Cut something that “might” affect yourself for once, like your salary, or your benefits, and STOP living off the backs of people that no longer want to support your lazy butts!
