oil...

 So much of our life involves oil, from the medicines we take, to the gas we pump, to the food we eat. Now we are seeing oil prices rise, we are seeing this because the dollar is tanking. We have been living beyond our means, as a government, much as the average citizen lives well beyond his/her real income. No, reality is not what you see on TV, but when you struggle to make ends meet. I guess we should be ready for a reality check, as the government finds it time to pay the piper for its poor economic policy. It is us, the ordinary citizen, who will pay the price. 

BTW... how much has the illegal war in Iraq contributed to this? Just look at the national debt before Bush, and t what levels it is at now after too many years of the Decider.
