Boycotting oil to get oil companies to lower oil prices is a great idea but we must organize and research before we do anything. Nobody is going to play along with the boycott if they don't have factual information to fall back on. And what difference will it make if only a few of us decide to boycott? The oil companies are just going to point and laugh at our useless misery. Somebody really needs to take charge? But who's going to do it?

Yeah, prices are going up all over the place. Why? Fuel is still cheaper here than in other countries. In 1963, while we were paying 38 cents per gallon, Germans were paying $1.48 per liter. Figure it out. That trend has continued until now. Why the big increases in the last couple of years? World demand. We are buying most of our goods abroad now and our money is fueling china's growth. Growth demands fuel."tah dah".Home mortgages? Well just rack that one up to pure greed. Realtors, bankers, buyer and sellers all "WANTED" (instant gratification). We have raised two generations of whining complaining spoiled brats.
ETHANOL? A joke. A 5 gal equivalent expenditure in fuel returns only .27 gal gain. Factor in the costs of water
used, corbon footprint, etc, it is totally unprofitable. In fact the entire ethenol industry is subsidized by the taxpayer while driving up the costs of food products. We Americans have become so naive that we will will believe anything a politician tells us as long as the stroking
feels good. WAKE UP! Stop being so damned apathetic about politics and getting your education on the world through sound bite and talk show hosts who seem to enthrall us.

NPP should provide additional information as follows:

(1) Military tax dollars - how much was paid to contractors, or is that money hidden elsewhere?

(2) Public employee health and pension benefits - how much are we paying to subsidize the lucrative benefits enjoyed by public employees - who are unionized and have guaranteed employment?
