We can thank President Bush and Vice President Cheney for their efforts to allow this to continue. When the President hasn't the good sense to see we are in a recession when the people know they are then we are doomed. The oil prices have little to do with the vast supply that seems to permeate the globe. This is an outright robbery of the American people, but one big thing it has caused is this recession. Without extra income you can't buy the junk that fuels the economy. It costs each of us al we have to keep a roof over our head, food in the house and the gasoline to drive back and forth to work to continue the vicious cycle. Sometime after the Presidential Election, the financial bubble will burst and then we will not be in a recession as President Bush stated, We will then be in a depression that may equal that of the 1920's Great Depression.

Jake, we the people of the US of A never seen it comming. Just like Bush is in denial of the fact we are in a recession as he also could not comprehend on 9/11 while reading to the school children we were attacked. Now we have this mess where people are losing their jobs, families are losing their homes, crime is rampant, illegals are coming to our country in droves taking what little jobs are left for the American people and taking our government benefits that are paid for from the sweaat of the american worker, causing our medical institutions/hospitals to be closed because of financial burdens from them not being able to pay for services, and on and on is the assault. We haave friends who have had to park their tractor trailer trucks due to the rising deisel fuel. That was their livelyhood. Our President continues to send monies to this unGodly War causing trillions of dollars of debt. He borrows from our Social Security for his war and there in turn causes that system to start going bellyup. What is happenng in our country is a crime against it's own people. Some people we speak with foresee rations and us struggling more and more to keep our homes and support our family needs. I believe you are correct when you speak of what might happen.

Does anyone have knowledge of a system that appeared in the news in Chicago during the summer I think it was about 2yrs. ago when gas prices soared. It was worked like a reserve savings account , where as you deposited or paid a set amount like for example $500.00 and it froze the current price you paid for gas untill that amount was used up.
