The entire body of Congress should be arrested and tried for treason and sedition for the selling out of this country. Our days are short on number and high in cost. The American dream has turned into the American nightmare.

The gas people are doing what they have been doing for the past 5 or 6 years. I can remeber when it started at $.75 a gallon and it rose to $1.25 a gallon. Everybody raised caine so it dropped to $1.00 a gallon. Then after a while it was raised to $2.00 a gallon. Everybody raised caine, went back to $1.75 a gallon. And so on. They raise it to where everyone complains, then lower it a few cents until everything settles down, then raise it some more. Watch it is at $4.00 a gallon now, by sept. it will be $5.00 a gallon. Wonder what there goal is?
