This is BushCo: Oil at all-time high, US dollar at all-time low.

Oil just passed $93.00 a barrel, and the dollar drops against the Euro to an all-time low.

1.00 USD = 0.695007 EUR (Exchangerate.com)

Bush and friends are businessmen, and they have jacked the system.

We're doing nothing to stop this. Why are we doing nothing to stop this?

1. Election Year
They tend to tread lightly when up for re-election. And then again, you have to consider that even if they got the votes for something to help reverse that trend bush would veto it and the repugnants in congress would never join in because alot of them are investors in oil, and they like to play partisan politics (see SCHIP bill)

2. Imagine the reaction if this happened during a Democratic administration.
The press would go wild. Remember Carter? And now, the press does not care in the slightest.

5. Kick, because we must admit the real problem in order to act against it.

6. One last kick because we're letting them do this to us.
It's entirely our responsibility if we want it to stop.
