Watch the price rise

How stupid can politicians be these days?

Well, obviously, very stupid. They are all over the news talking about gas prices. They constantly talk about what needs to be done about the prices. And all they can do is give out futile suggestions to the crisis. They constantly talk about letting loose of the federal taxes and cutting out the oil going to the reserves. This, to some, feels like the politicians are doing what they can to help us out. Well don't fall for this facade. These 2 items together will only bring the price down by about 30 cent per gallon, so it will still be over $3 a gallon. And this is only for the summer. So come Labor day, when they start putting the oil back in the reserves and the taxes go back, it will drive the price up higher then it is now. Don't fall for the false hope they are trying to offer.

Well now, as if they couldn't make anymore mistakes with this situation, they lose more brainpower. There is a report today that the Congress is going to pass a Veto proof bill that will make it ok for the Justice Department to sue OPEC member for price gouging and other things. This wrong on many fronts. 1) This will increase the Justice Departments numbers, thus take more taxpayer money to run it, and if you have read anything on this blog you know i don't agree with the humongousness of our government as it is, so i can't stand for a government that is growing. 2) This will put us at odds with the Opec nations. This will make us more of an enemy and they will start to cut back our supply, then guess what happens, our prices go up exponentially.

So this will only make our situation worse. Then the Congress will pass another useless set of laws that will make the situation even worse. This is the typical solution for our politicians. I don't think they have a single brain between all of them, with exception of Ron Paul.

It is time to hold our politicians accountable for stupid actions and laws such as this, that will make our situation get worse and worse.

Viva Liberty!
