How many of these people voted for Obama? We have four times the Saudis oil reserves in the lower 48 in shale oil, coal diesel and ND oil. Democrats have blocked any access because most of it is on federal land. Let these people in CT eat cake.

Am I the only person NOT currently in a bailout line?

I would like to form a new Tax Payer Union (TPU for short) and we need a bailout

I gambled poorly and paid a ridiculous amount for propane in August because in the fall it turns down hard.

Now I regret that decision, but I can’t see into the future.

Wonder when I’ll get my check for my oil!

I am not in line either. I think that makes a total of 2 of us in PA.

Better get in line now, that way when they come up with something you qualify for, you are already in line.

Get in one of the existing lines. After all, the government demanded this money under one pretense and changed after the ink was dry.

In the future, salaries will be called “worker contributions” and your net pay will be called “change”

If you assume the price was manipulated, then it may be grounds to give some relief.

Don’t forget to hurry up and wait in that big, long line.

I am buying premium gasoline now, but before the depressed prices I was buying regular.

Heads, they'd commit to pay $4.50 to $4.75 a gallon for heating oil this winter; tails, they'd gamble it wouldn't going to $6 as predicted.

These bailouts are a no win situation. Heads we bailout the customers, tails we bailout the supplier.

My heating oil company let me switch contracts for the same $250.00 they would have charged me to sign up for the price cap plan to begin with. They understand, heck they own homes, too.

I have a quote for 3800 for a Quadrafire pellet stove fireplace insert that I am interested in getting, however, they are now backordered until January and the pellets are getting harder to find.

The Guy on Fox Business " Capitalist Pig" when Intel said they would be off a billion dollars in revenues this 1/4

He said they shpuld say we are cutting employees unless we get a billion from Paulsen. Then he said Intel isn't a growth company anymore anyway.

When pressed what is now he said whiskey.

Then said nothing since the bailout.

The treason of the radical far left comes home. Yes, let these dolts eat it -— and maybe a freezing winter might sober up their American history and patriotism.

What the hell? And, Congress thinks they can appease us middle class by giving us a measly $600-$1200 incentive check?
