A Socialized America?

A lot of you have probably felt as much pain at the pump as I have. There are days where I feel like we are sinking, purely because we are spending over $100 a week on gas, which totals to more that $450 a month. Everything is sky-rocketing in price, and it is hitting everyone in the wallet. I find it interesting that the government is trying hard to threaten oil company executives to drop prices or to guarantee a drop in oil prices. However, read a little of what Rep. Maxine Waters (a democrat) said to John Hofmeister, the president of Shell Oil company:

During questioning, Rep. Waters asked the oil executive to “guarantee” that the price of oil will go down if oil companies are granted authority to drill off U.S. shores. When Mr. Hofmeister failed to offer such a guarantee, Representative Waters issued a threat: “And guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socialize…basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.”

Wow! Looks like Congress wants to run as dictators rather than a democracy. They'd rather socialize America and take over control of everything rather than give Americans the freedom to run their own businesses. Land of the free? Well, not for long.
