What a ridiculous thing to say. Other countries where gas is higher get
free, get sick all you want, health insurance among other things. Not
only am I not handed health insurance, and am barely able to afford
minimal hospital coverage, now these gas prices are making my office
trip up to over $50 a week, and I don't know how I'm going to heat my
home this winter.
Glad this is all no money to you. Bush feels the same way, and is in the
oil business anyway hence there will be no attempt to help the situation
for at least 2 years.
