Gas Prices

The more I hear from politics on how they want to “cure” the oil crises with “green” energy the more rage I feel go through my body. Is this really the answer to the current situation? Most will tell you of course not, it will not cure the current problem. It is for the future! I am all for the future but I am also for right now.
In my life time I have never seen a large push to go “green” just talk. I really do not have faith in wind energy and solar energy for right now. Or cars running on water as a majority. In the future? Sure if people get serious. However, this talk doesn’t help my bank account. Does it help yours?
Congress could care less about curing it right now in a majority. They don’t feel the hurt we do. Most of them don’t even fill their own gas tanks! They don’t know what it is like for those working min wage to spend 1/4 of their two weeks paycheck just to fill their gas tank ONCE.
How can the economy survive in this? Most of our money is going in a gas tank just to get to work or pick up the kids. How does that help our economy? The gas stations barely make a profit off gas. The food is costing more, who is making the money there? They are raising prices just to cover fuel. Who makes that money folks? How does this help our economy? It won’t.
Unless people stand up and FORCE congress to act and do what is needed they will just piss around and talk about it.
I don’t want to be told to have a smaller car. My car isnt big. I dont want to be told that I need to drive less. I am barely driving. I have a 60mi commute each day to get to work. Selling my house and moving is not an option. I barely see my family as the cost of gas makes it a challenge to take a road trip. I have bills to pay.
The sad part is, I am far from poor. I make around $75k per year and still struggle. Once I get rid of my car payment soon and medical bills I will have a lot more money to pay for gas. Yet, it doesn’t mean the situation is okay. A lot of people have it much worse then I do.
