More mistakes of President Bush. One: He said he would veto any bills trying to regulate oil prices, as this would be price fixing. Wake up, Mr. President, what do you think the large oil corporations are doing? Congress should pass a bill breaking up the large oil corporations, which are controlling supply and price. Those who don’t sign on to such a bill will be remembered at election time. Many in Congress realize that by passing such a bill, they would lose large donations from these corporations. Our government has become a government of wealthy, special interest groups like the oil corporations and others, which pull the string of our elected officials like puppets.
Congress, Bush must act now
