What is going on with the price of gas again? It’s just driving me nuts. You almost have to take out a small loan to fill up your car these days. The government is wondering why we are still in an economic downturn, why we are not recovering fast enough, well, just look at gas prices. No one can afford to take a long trip, let alone just your normal everyday driving to get back and forth to work! I am old enough to remember when gas was less than 90 cents a gallon. You could afford to take a trip and still have gas left over to get to work!
Why is gas so high you ask? One word. GREED! The oil companies have been working for years to inch that price up slowly but surely to squeeze every last one of us dry. They know we depend on gas for everything we do. It’s been united effort on the parts of all the major oil companies to do this. They have us programmed now to feel that gas at $3.00 a gallon is a good deal! I never thought I would see gas prices elevated to the level that they are today.
I used to work for an Oil company back in the late 70s and 80s. I know how they think. I know what the game plan has always been. I quit working the oilfields just because of this mentality. I did not want to be part of such a grandiose scheme. They have been working towards this for years, and now they have us over a barrel. And I’m not talking about a barrel of oil!
What can we do? How about nationally we pick one day, and everyone in the US does not drive or buy gas. The millions of dollars they would lose could send a message. And that message is we have had enough!
