Some say that what is going on with the high price of fuel is not a crisis. I say to those that believe this, "What is your definition of a crisis?" Is it affecting the cost of living here in the USA?
It is most baffling why we continue to buy barrels of oil at over a hundred dollars a barrel when we have an ample supply here in the U.S. Are we hedging against the rising cost of oil?
Another baffling question is why isn't that soda you are drinking from that plastic bottle or that carpet you just purchased cost the same as it did 5 years ago when both of these products are made from oil? Shouldn't certain products made from this costly oil be going up in price? It is all relative.
We have a cause and effect happening. We know the cause, the failing dollar, and we know the effect which is less money in the bank for the consumers. Bottom line is that airlines, transportation carriers, schools, auto makers, etc. are all being affected by the oil crisis.
The undersigned demand that we either stop purchasing oil at this time until the war is over and/or the price comes down. Until we can get a handle on this dwindling dollar we must use the reserves that we have. The solution to the problem is an easy one: Back our dollar with something of VALUE. Stop printing more money. Stop letting the Federal Reserve adjust interest rates. Limit our dependence on foreign oil.
WE, the U.S., used to be the biggest creditor of the world and now we are the biggest debtor. The only way to cure this problem is by creating goods in this country that other countries want. Give the corporations in this country tax credits to keep jobs in this country. Start EXPORTING more than IMPORTING. Then you won't have to sell our ports, our toll ways, etc. to make extra cash. Stop the unnecessary spending and stop wipeing out other countries debts to us away.
This oil crisis is creating hardships for all those dependent on oil to do their jobs. If Americans cannot afford to work then who will help our government.
Stop the greed NOW.

People in Canada want answers to the fuel 'crisis' as well - with an ample national supply, why are we paying between 5 and 7 dollars a gallon for gas? Why, here in the north, does it cost $1400.00 to fill a 200-gallon fuel tank? Why, so Petro Canada can show an 87% increase in its profits for the first quarter of 2008, that's why. Greed, not need, drives the oil industry.

I am sick of greed making every American of lesser means pay more from things we need and do not take for granted anymore. America is increasingly becoming a THIRD-WORLD country here, once the envy of the world - and now the bane. Bush has so screwed up this country's economy, and made us too dependent on foreign oil, and greedy people are using every excuse to keep oil prices high, such as bad weather, rebels, etc. We need to stop depending on foreign oil, and look for oil here, as a bridge to renewable energy that will ultimately wean us off oil towards a cleaner future.

I am on a fixed budget and can barely make it in for my doctor's appointments because fuel is too high. My daughter is a truck driver and she is losing her rear end. She is so far in debt because her business is unprofitable. The company she is leased to gives her a fuel surcharge but they lowered their freight tariffs to give the shippers a break. She is making less now with fuel being so high even with the fuel surcharge. God bless the truckers out there trying to make it.

We want solutions to this current problem not promises. This affects everyone around the world not just the U.S. Cut back on government spending. We need to clean up our own back yards. How about the war on drugs? How about health care for everyone? How about people losing their homes to greedy mortgage finance institutes? By the way, one was bailed out by the Bush administration. I have never seen anyone get rewarded for doing something bad except those in politics. I am tired of all the unnecessary spending. We, the people of the United States, want answers and solutions to these problems not promises.
