Our Senate has just voted down a proposal to place a one year moratorium on earmarks. Did anyone reasonably think that our elected officials in Washington, D.C. would voluntarily stop trying to buy our votes with our money? All is not lost, though. Listening to their justification (especially Dick Durbin’s) for voting against such a measure is really entertaining. They all should have their own show on Comedy Central…… just before, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” It would be a great lead in for one of the funniest shows on T.V.

Oil prices have reached $110 per barrel……. and nothing is done. The oil companies post record 4th quarter profits while receiving tax rebates….. and nothing is done. No new refineries have been applied for in 20 plus years… and nothing is done. We have a president and a vice president who are oil men…… so nothing will get done.
They said last year that gas would reach an all time high of $3 per gallon and it did. They’re saying that gas will reach $4 per gallon and it will.
Our president, an oil man, pleads innocence when a reporter asks him about $4 per gallon gas. Never heard that.
And WE do nothing. Shame on him and shame on us He has correctly assessed the situation that the American public and the Congress are a bunch of sheep who have done nothing, will do nothing and can do nothing. Shame on us again.

Our dollar is at it’s lowest level in history. Our budget deficit is higher than ever. Oil prices are at an all time high. Wages are stagnent. Diesel fuel is is at $4.00 per gallon raising the cost of transportation of goods to all time highs. People have to choose between having fuel to get to work and to buy food. Our President’s failed economic policies and our Congress’ willingness to go along with them have caused this situation.
Even though we might think this is a recession, it isn’t. Why? Because our politicians have decreed that it’s not
