I am fighting with you and hoping you can keep strong as the times get tough.

I'm in a suburban area where cars are the lifeblood. Many comute upwards of 100 miles a day round-trip and the expense is killing them. Rapid transit isn't really an option...and as more people start taking the few trains that are around, that's creating delays on those lines.

The silent "killer" in here is the creep these prices have throughout the entire economy. The nearly doubling of oil prices over the past 2 years is now showing up on your grocery store shelves and in the many products you need to live on. And this doesn't count the mess that's been created in the wake of these storms that are hitting critical port and oil areas.

The biggest victims here are the poorest and silent in our society. The elderly...who won't see their benefits increase enough to pay for their heating bills this winter...and now the Repugnican assoles are talking about delaying the screwed-up Medicare benefit to pay for one part of the "reconstruction". The nerve!

We're all suffering from 5 years of total Repugnican control...and 20 years of letting the corporations and the wealthy plunder all the best resources of this country for their own profit. Now are enough people pissed off and ready for a change? I'm not sure yet.
