Food Prices, Gas prices, what's next?

This is a interesting article on CNN. It is talking about how riots are taking place around the world because of food prices. This is the first I have heard anyone talk about this, so I guess they are just noticing it. Most likely because the government officials here are too busy pointing their fingers at each other so I guess they forgot to check on things.

Food
Food prices along with everything else has sky rocketed over the past couple of years. But is only seems to affect the poor people. Which is about 75 percent of the world or more. So it easy to ignore these things as long as you have food on your table and gas in your vehicle. But when is it going to stop? Most analyst say that there is no end in sight. But somewhere along the line it has to be.

Fuel
That is the number one reason for all of the economic problems in this country. The high cost of fuel has driven up the cost of everything, from food to construction materials. And has a big impact on the reason the housing market crumbled. The reason is, you have to have fuel to do anything these days. You cannot get to the market to buy the high priced foods, without spending outrageous amounts of money on gasoline. But you have to do what you have to do.

Profits
Although the cost of food has risen in some places almost 100%, I do not hear of farmers making record breaking profits like the oil and gas companies. Because they are not. They have a high cost in fuel themselves. I do not hear of grocery store chains making huge profits either. Their cost of shipping is taking away their profits. But yet these big oil companies are living the high life right now.

The Election
Who is going to be president? You have three people still in the running for president here in the US and all three say they are going to do something about this. Oh really!!! What have you been doing in the past while you were suppose to be representing the American people? Nothing, except worry about what the other party is doing. No matter who comes up with a proposal, Republicans or Democrats I guarantee you that the other party is going to bash it. Does not matter if it will work or not. Congress is about Congress, not the American people and not the people of the world.

The Result
No matter what the results may be in the future, people are going to starve. More people are going to lose their homes. Children are going to continue to suffer. And the price of gas is not going to change. That is the way things are. The only way that we are going to change the results, is for the government to stop arguing with each other,and start working together. I really hope that this will happen. And I hope that the news media will start focusing more on why congress does not work together and try to fix these things, instead of reporting what one has to say about the other. Because I really do not care what either one of them think of the other, as long as things start getting done in this country.
