It is very unfotunate that Mr Loper is having to expeirence what has to be one of lifes toughest choices. The sad reallity is that it is happening to alot of familys, including my own. My wife was forced into quitting her job, Her pay barely bought her the gas travel to and from work. After you figure in maitenance costs, we were actually losing money. Our Goverment has the ability to do something about rising energy cost, but chooses not to. Why would they, Big Goverment is profiting from it. We have the power as a peole to change our Goverment. Lets all try and make a diffrence.
