what do you think the goverment should do for the senior citizens i dont think they do enough to help older americans especially the ones who are on a really low fixed income . the cost this year alone on fuel will drive some of them into debt over thier budgets how are they suppose to pay for all the high cost.

As the oil price rises I think there should be some alternative provided to support the imbalance in the economy. I am not very sure what the Government should do because it depends on a lot of issues and laws. Tax reduction can be a way which the Government can implement.

i think yhe goverment should freeze the prices if need be limit the amounts you can get people can car pool and they help all those other countries help thier own first. its sad to see our own neglected and so much given to other countries. i know some of them are in really bad shape compared to us but what if the shoe was on the other foot?

If the shoe were on the other foot, we would indeed be a third world county. We are fortunate enough to have choices here. I would not want to see a freeze on how much gas we can buy, I need gas to go to work and support my family, I would hope they could release some of the stored surplus, that would lower the cost to us and the big wigs would not be collecting as much.

good nature if they put a freeze on the government would lift the gudgeing and stop the ridiculas prices if there were a freeze within a few weeks they would put the price back down because they would be loseing money sometimes you have to suffer a little to make a point im certain it wouldnt take long even if everyone went on a week strike everyone just set back and relax for a week of course there are those people who couldnt take off like doctors hospitol workers and so on but they could all car pool a week. id bet you if people would just conserve one week the gas would come down quickly. they wont go long with out makeing money.
