Gas Prices Skyrocket To New Record Thursday Morning

Gas again hit a new record price-per-barrel Thursday morning at $145. All signs point to gas reaching $160 a barrel by the end of the year, according to Forbes.com.

This is completely unacceptable … the rising price of gas is reeking havoc on Americans and the economy. The correlation among high gas prices, consumer confidence, the slowing economy and decreased spending is undeniable.

The solution to this problem is to cut our dependence of oil. Our current money goes to the unfriendly OPEC nation’s sovereign wealth funds, which they turn around and use that same money to purchase American bonds, portions of the treasury and American industry. They are slowly acquiring America through our oil addiction. This practice must stop by creating an oil free future.
