Gas prices another type of terror threat

We have lately been experiencing record low fuel prices at the pump after years of record high prices. With the majority of our citizens now purchasing vehicles that are more fuel efficient, the effect has been positive. Record inventories of crude oil in storage, refineries processing less and yet at the pump, like yesterday at our local BP Station, the price jumped 18 cents per gallon.

These kinds of perpetrated gyrations impose just as much of a threat to our national security as terrorists. Our "great country" is strongest when our personal finances are not gouged by multi-international energy corporations that our Congress let's run roughshod over the good citizens in this "great country."

I guess we do have the best government money can buy.
