These are the words of NY Senator Charles Schumer (D) who said them in response to President George Bush's announcement that recognized the gasoline prices crisis. I could not agree more, but what I hope Sen. Schumer realizes is that I hold him and the President equally responsible for the outrageous prices I pay at the pump.
Congress is a power hungry, money thirsty monster. It cares nothing about the people. "Lawmakers" have campaigned on Health Care before using the argument that elderly persons often choose between eating and buying prescription drugs. I demand to see someone stand up for my plight of choosing between food and gasoline!!!
Florida's legislature has also been approaching the issue of gas prices. Everyone wants to seem like they are for the people. I dont believe a word of it. Their travel expenses are paid for, and many live comfortably enough thanks to the ability to write off expenses as part of being a representative.
I am all in favor of passing a law that holds representatives in Florida responsible for their own fuel expenses. We will still pay for airline tickets, but no more turning in receipts for gas you put in your car. And no tricky work trying to get a "company car" to take you around in either. I want you all to pay as much as I do for gas on a MONTHLY basis.
