I care about people not starving. I think the dems are doing the best they can to help the people. But the pubs continue to fight the dems as they try to do the right thing and the pubs empower the plutocrats who are beating the shit out of us. Look at how the house pubs just stripped all of the food stamps out of the Farm bill and then added a ton of pork for the rich farmer. They took the entire 20 billion in foods stamps out but put in 200 billion in agricultural subsidies. The farmers get 80% protection and they are trying to up it to 90%. The big danger we face are the plutocrats and the pubs who help them lord over us.

gas...http://www.nasdaq.com/markets/gas.aspx?timeframe=4y up about 50% in 4 years...that's more than 10% annualized Everyone knows this happened due to GWB's empire building in the middle east post 9/11 and the boom in China. What were oil prices when Clinton left office again? Good news is a sustained period of high gas prices plus less control by neocons makes innovation and quicker turn to profitability in hybrids, electric, solar, wind possible
