How about a truthful question?  How long will Social Security be able to pay back the people who've paid into it all their lives if the United States Government pays back the 4.75 TRILLION Dollars they've stolen from Social Security?   Read the obits.   How many people die now days that are in their 50's and 60's? ...more

This article is sponsored by the Oil Industry.  They keep posting this same article over and over.  That's so you get used to the idea of $5.00 per gallon of gallon coming soon to a station near you.  That's so you feel REAL happy when it's at the $4.00 per gallon they're trying so hard to get now.    These people...more

By this person's article, then I guess this person would have to be happy if we took his/her income from him/her.  You should be happy if we do that, right?  Then you'd have no more stress about paying your bills, going places, eating food.  Sounds good to me.  Send those checks right over to my house.  I'm volunteerin...more

Catalyst2-  You think that's bad?  I'm disabled vet.  Live on a fixed income.  Haven't received a cost of living increase for two years because "There's no inflation" .  The spool retainer for the weed eater went from $1.99 a couple of years ago to $10.   Everything has gone up at least 30% and yet "there's no inflatio...more

Obviously a lot of posters didn't read my first post or read the link showing what I'm saying.  It's NOT Obama and it's NOT the oil companies.   My original post is on page 5 I believe.  That's who's causing it and why, besides the obvious quick billions.    If a LOT of stocks for Company X are bought, what happen...more

Forgot.  And they use any excuse in the world to start the buying/price hikes.  Libya is in turmoil, even though they don't supply us with oil.  An Emir passed gas.  Whatever.  When the price drops back down, they start the cycle all over again.  The oil companies don't care, 'cause their profits keep going up because ...more
