Fuel drove these prices up. Should I say big oil? When the farmers here were getting as low as $1.60 here and were paying $3 for fuel they were getting raped and that is a crime you get years for. Now Exxon wants out the Valdez wreck crime because they say they already spent more than the fine. How about the 750 fishermen who lost their career over the mess? Doesn't even come close! This stagflation scares me more right now but I know politicians are dumb enough to do something really stupid with a report like this.

There are two sides to your coin young man. Ed Winkle |
