What do you think businesses are doing to make up the lost money spent on fuel? The lost customers who won't drive to your place of business? It's deserted at the stores around here, more help than customers. It was only a matter of time before the employees had to go. Look at the devastated auto industry.

Oil driven recession, the liberal love it. Save the planet. Pay more in taxes so government can pretend to control the weather.

Just yesterday, the city said taxes had to go up 20% so the city could keep going, hire more people. Exactly where are the people who live here supposed to get the money? We have the same nincompoops here as is in Washington.

Lay off, close less profitable locations, cut back, ...

Yup.

With good patriotic Americans like our left, losing our wars, destroying our economy, regulating away our liberty and taking our property ... who needs enemies?

TVA announced that it was increasing rates 20% for energy.Biggest increase ever,while at the same time,giving huge bonuses to contractors who completed nuclear reactor work well behind schedule.

Since 2003,TVA has increased rates by 57%.This,of course,gets passed on directly to the consumer,be it residential or commercial.It's not just fuel increases for employers,but electric bill increases as well.A double whammy for energy consumers.
