How true is that statement! Gas prices seem to rise in direct relationship to dropping oil prices. Could it be that the monopolization of industries has allowed the giant conglomerates to treat the entire economy as their personal "hedge fund". All the benefits of capitalism (inviting public funding in private enterprise) have been eroded and corrupted to the point that the only reasonable alternative is to pull the plug on the whole system. Sustainability needs to be the foundation of industry, not money.

A post I wrote A while back explores the unholy union of banks and governments. Governments are busy supporting banks that are in turn supporting the very Governments that bailed them out, this is all being paid for as a hidden tax on the people. Nothing moral about this!
