Well. we all know the adage about a house of "CARDS." When said house's foundation rests upon the shifting sands of a fickle public's discretionary spending, it can all the more easily come crashing down.

This month we were hit with a 42% increase on electric bill for "Purchased Power Adjustment" due to higher fuel costs for power generation. Every time we go to the grocery store, food prices are always higher than previous visit, gasoline is in a never ending spiral upwards, with downtick pittances only temporary.

Wife and I are old and on a fixed income, food and the AC come first for us here in AZ with temps up to 120 degrees, and they are not discretionary, they are necessities.

Obama and the democrat's energy policy is:

1) No to new drilling offshore or in ANWAR

2) No to nuclear

3) No to new refineries

4) No to new pipelines

5) No to oil shale development

6) NO TO FOSSIL FUELS OF ANY KIND (except what they can cajole or threaten out of OPEC)

7) Yes to using up our grain food stocks for polluting bio fuel plants.

Obama tell us to buy a small car, overinflate the tires, tune it up, get a wind surfboard sail and wait on the wind for ambulation.
