Oil, the economy, and the idiots around us

Okay, Ive been gone from posting for over a month, but I just cant sit on the sidelines much longer with everything that is going on right now. We have banks failing left and right. Mortgage lenders going under. Possible impending doom for fannie mae and freddie mac. When will the people in washington learn? Nothing is being done. We have over 4 dollar a gallong gas now. Nothing is being done. We have signs that this economic crisis could deepend and broaden this fall and winter, and nothing is being done. I myself am sick of it. Oil dropped ten bucks in two days. It means nothing. In two days, it will be back up that amount plus a buck or two because some idiot in nigeria threatened a refinery, or A-Jad in Iran gets huffy puffy again.

I am starting to wonder if there isn't something darker behind all of this. Didn't Osama Bin Laden say one way he was going to bring down the U.S. was by destroying our economy? Looks like it would be safe to say that may be happening. And at the hands of what mainly.....besides the housing market? Oil. Where do we get oil? Most of it comes from the middle east I believe. I think we are in the midst of one of the biggest scams in the history of the world. A lot of people are suffering, but there are a few making billions off of all of this. Ill let you decide what you think. My mind is made up.
