Hopefully if Americans keep conserving as they are now. They will cause a speculator bubble to burst and prices will get back to some sort of normality.

Gasoline consumption has been down the past 5 weeks. And last week was the lowest decline in gas sales ever recorded like 4.5% in one week since they started tracking it.

We need to be more conservative by driving better mileage cars, If we show the Car companies we will no longer be gluttons and buy vehicles that get 10-15 miles per gallon they will give us better mileage cars.

And in the end the Speculators will get busted.

But in the meantime they(speculators) go unchecked. So what if a year from now they are reined in and lose a couple of million, they've already stashed back zillions at consumers expense. It didn't have to be this way.

Every news, financial publication refers to Clinton's budget SURPLUS. No one ever claimed he paid off the national debt. But we took in more tax money than we spent. George W. Bush took that SURPLUS and give most of it to the richest people in the country as tax breaks. You can cover your ears, close your eyes, scream at the top of your lungs, but that's the truth. Do a simple search for Clinton Budget Surplus. :lol:

You will never look at the figures with an objective approach so why bother to point out that 1 maybe 2 years out of 8 Clinton claimed a Surplus, or that the very first year of Bush in office that Surplus was gone because Clinton put it off correcting his saving until the last Budget he proposed and Bush had to operate with this budget proposed by Clinton because the government does not go by literal year. The go Oct to Oct.

Nor that Clinton tweaked the way Social Security debt was figured in. Nor that he just cut cost and left someone else to pay for it.

I am sure you could do that same kind of budgeting. Just do not fix any fences, buy any new equipment, don't fix the barns or fertilize the fields for two years and see if you saved money those years. And then see how much it cost in 5 years to fix all those things you put off for 2 years. Hiding bills in the drawer for the next President to find is not a surplus!

You are so bias towards the Democrats being little Angels you can not even see their evil ways. :roll:

And the Treasury Dept has probably already given them assurances they will get bailed out by putting up taxpayer money in high risk loans like they did with Bear Stearns- who went broke because of unregulated lending :???: :( :mad:
