What a stinking joke. The government is just a waste of taxpayers’ money.

I am just sickened from hearing on the news that after 70 days of lower gas prices the price of a barrel of oil went up. What a joke.

Summer is here, so let’s create an artificial crisis and raise the price of oil and gas. Is it ever going to end? Play fast and loose with the people who elected them to protect us.

I am going to say, with no apologies, to anyone that politicians are laughable. I know a few personally who do work to help their constituents. But they are local and don’t get big pay.

The Senate and Congress all need to be impeached, repeatedly. I am so sick of the rhetoric. They are working to help us? When? I want to see it. Just once would be miraculous.

An addendum to the above rant. It is now July 20. Yesterday I went to Massena. Gas was $3.51. I came back a couple of hours later and it was $3.59. Later it was $3.65. What justification is there for 14 cents in one day? Are you serious? What is wrong with this picture? Can anyone supply us with an answer?

There is absolutely no reason for the rise in gas prices. I read and watch the news every day. It’s election time and all you hear are promises, promises and more promises. It is sickening.

What will happen after the election is over? Nothing. Except maybe it will be worse.

Everyone unite. Get heads out of the sand or wherever they are, and let’s see what we can do.
