What’s this “May” crap?

We almost own our house and have no other debt. Since I have been a stay at home mom for years we have always been on a budget. BUT I cringe every time I get a utility bill in the mail anymore. Everything gets passed onto the middle class. They have killed the golden goose.

I also expect Hussein and the Democrats eventually to shut down the use of coal altogether and put a large tax on oil or a series of taxes on gasoline and petroleum products that will put much of the category out of reach of the less affluent. One leftist goal has always been to drastically reduce the mobility of the population. $15 dollar gas would do that. It would reduce the number of automobiles on the road to make it more practical to require GPS transponders, ostensibly for mileage taxing purposes, in every motor vehicle. Reducing the population to what is now regarded as poverty is probably also a leftist goal. It makes the masses(yeah, that is the appropriate word in the new configuration) easier to control because thew will be then dependent of government for such luxuries as food and shelter.
