Narrator: So how are the democrats attacking a sec'y of state candidate who's the sitting CEO of Exxon Mobil? Woman: He's too close to Russia. Man 3: Besties with Putin!

I believe most posters here, despite their obvious disagreements, are moderates, and have the good of the country at heart.I grew up with 25 cent per gallon gas, and thought that was the way things would always be.It took the extending of the Vietnam War, and the oil embargo of the Carter years, and my subsequent reading of history, to realize how much the USA has created the problems we now decry.A good SMALL read (because it goes on and on like a thesis expanded to a book) is Disaster Capitalism. You get the point quickly, and can then return the book to the library!
