HEDGEFUNDS: This is what is responsible for high prices on oil, gas, food, etc.. When President Bush took office ther were restrictions for hedgefunds. They could not buy and sell commodities (Oil, Gas, Food etc.) Gas was less than a dollar. President Bush and his republican administration cleared the way and told the world there should be free enterprise for business and corporations. The restrictions were deleted and spearheadced by Senator Phil Graham (John McCains friend and advisor) and don't believe Graham was fired by McCain, because he was not. Graham is now a behind the scenes advisor. Didn't you all read the Tulsa World on Tuesday 7/22/08. The storey said that 2 hedgefunds purchased SEMMGROUP. Oh yes, by they way these hedgefunds are owned by the OIL COMPANIES. Where will the public ignorance end? Get your head out of the sand and demand the Hedgefund restrictions be reinstated and gas will go back to $1.00 a gallon. Many will say this cannot ever happen. Let me tell you, it can happen if a big enough revolt by the people occur. But I have faith in the general public. You will just sit around and let the prices of everything just get higher and higher. Dont believe the politiciand because many of them are the investors in hedgwefunds making profits and they will tell you I am wrong. I am not wrong.
