Goldman Sachs consultants expect the barrel to reach $200 in coming years. Records are set and broken daily - and I would not be surprised to see gasoline reaching a $5.25 average by the Memorial Day weekend.

Our government needs to step in and do something NOW. But through history we have almost always been re-active instead of pro-active with our economic situation.

What is the answer? I don't know. But if you do, or you even have ideas - do something about it. Write your congressman, petition a board of investors; do whatever it takes. National unity is the only way to overcome this recession.
