"Under the Radar"

Oil is nearing $90 a barrel again, and nobody cares. They got used to $3 and higher per gallon prices during the last “put up” oil crisis so this isn’t such a “big thing” to them. They survived before, and these prices can’t last, they tell themselves. The liberal media ignores it, and we have to depend on sources they hate (other than the gas pump itself) to learn of it. What’s new about that? The liberal news media has long ignored such things because they might reflect badly on the president. But if we don’t do something to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, such as using synthetic oil in huge quantities, we’re going to soon be seeing $10 a gallon gas.

"S'not" under my radar, lol. I have been seeing the trends. I also have noticed that the cost of groceries have never come back down. The excuse was that when gas was nearly $4.00 a gallon they had to increase the price of groceries because of the cost of transportation, ya-da, ya-da, yada. Once the cost oil dropped, the groceries did return to their former cost. Now they are saying groceries will have to go up further. We are killing any chance of this country surviving - - and just in time for my so-called retirement (which will see me continuing to work.)

Anon: Not under mine, either. You noticed that when oil prices (or whatever prices they use for an excuse) come back down, grocery and other commodity prices don't come down with them? The reason for that is the government printing money (inflation) with nothing valuable behind it. It's government THEFT under many names, the most recent being "quantitative easing." they're very vocal about counterfeiting reducing the value of every dollar in existence UNLESS it's them who are doing it. Then it gets a "hot diggety"-sounding name.

And yet, what can we do about it?

Edit: In my first post I meant to say "Once the cost of oil dropped, the groceries did NOT return to their former cost". I left out 'NOT'. It seems once they raise the cost of anything, it never goes down. It is all manipulated and fixed.
