Mar. 24, 2005 “I got Gas! I got Gas!” For most individuals that statement would be way too much information. However, that exclamation would be a common utterance for an individual who lived through the Gas Crunch of the 1970’s. Presently the mantra is, “I have No Money for Gas! Hey Buddy, can you spare a Fifty Dollar Bill so I can fill the tank of my SUV?” Everything is circular. If we do not pay attention to history, you are bound to repeat it. In the early 1990’s SUV’s was all the rage. Individuals were flocking in droves to their nearest dealership to trade-in their economical passenger cars for massive, gas guzzling SUV’s. One newspaper columnist touted, ‘Driving a passenger car is the equivalent to running over a pothole.’ Fast forward to 2005, and individuals are gathering in mass to trade in their SUV’s for economical hybrids, and regular passenger cars. Recently, a television news report delivered a shocking visual. “25% Off on SUV’s,” a sticker shouted from the windshield at a dealership car lot. Imagine that! Twenty-five percent off on a SUV, then you pay two-hundred and fifty percent for Gas! The cost of petroleum products are not just felt at the gas pumps. Everything and I mean everything goes up. Higher prices for clothes, food, heat, plastic products – just to name a few, will take an enormous up-tick. So, now we want to start drilling in Alaska – again. Politicians have been pounding our eardrums with claims that the oil retrieved from protected Wildlife sanctuaries will cut our nation’s dependence on foreign oil. The problem with this legislation is: MONEY to start drilling and the cost of building refineries. Guess who will bear to cost of this new and improved thinking? By the time this grandiose placation of the American people comes to fruition, the Cartels in the Middle East will have reaped untold profits – the Oil Companies will have lined their pockets with massive amounts of GREEN, and Gas prices will continue to soar. It has happened before, and will happen again. “Step Right Up – Get your Ticket for a truly amazing ride on the Merry-Go-Round!” “Attention, all Baby-Boomers! RED ALERT! RED ALERT! The 1970’s Are Back with a New Twist. There will not be lines at the Gas Pump. Be prepared to stand in line at the Bank or ATM – FOR MONEY!” Thinking of going on vacation and flying somewhere? Ha! Just wait until the Summer Rush. You may barf at the rising Plane Fares - which will crash your credit cards and savings, in one or two transactions. You think that the Economy is teetering on the brink of a Stock Market Crash like the last one experienced in the 1980’s? Just wait a few Quarters. “Do I buy Food, or fill up my Tank with gas, and go to work so I can buy Gas and Food? Is there a Twelve Step Program for Gas Addicts? I have a great idea to save Social Security – Mr. Bush! All the jobs that have been and/or are being currently outsourced to foreign countries – Have the individuals who have replaced American Workers pay into our Social Security System. Every foreign individual in a distant land, who is doing the job that Americans once did, money should come out of their paychecks and go to OUR Social Security System. Take away our Jobs, will you! This action will be Poetic Justice. Do You Hear Me – McDonalds? Drive- Through THIS Idea! “Just sit right back and you will hear a tale, a tale of a Mighty Country and Citizens, who set sail one day on a course to economic disaster…. To Economic Disaster!” Wake-Up Everyone! GEEZ!
