I don't think of myself as a politically involved person, (I guess I should have been paying more attention earlier in life?) but the more I see, hear and read about political red tape and delays, and the rising price of gas, which affects us all and out quality of life, the angrier I get. I certainly don't feel the urge to run for any political office but I don't mind making some noise to send a message. This was just brought to my attention:
which brought to mind the question of Who is REALLY running the country if the president can't do anything about large corporations who are bringing down the country through greed.
If this is the land of oppotunity, why should the opportunity to survive be dictated by something like gas prices? So instead of deciding if you can have healthy, organic food because it costs a bit more, you can decide whether to eat or put gas in the car to get to work. that may sound a bit drastic but for those people just getting by, that could be a not so distant choice.
So, if you put gas in the car, then you can drive to the food pantry because you can't buy food now, and the cost of feeding more families gets passed on to local municipalities and in turn the government, which is in debt already................what a vicous cycle. So where do we go from here?
