The exposure of elected labour party ministers of the Cabinet charging for second homes and expenses that quite frankly are insulting the intelligence of the people who put trust in their elected politicains. They should have the decency to resign. They seem to think one rule for us and another for working people who work hard for their money and if you are self employed Inland Revenue insist on receipts for all purchases, and quite right. When is somebody going to stand up for us and the high taxes that finance this gravy train. It's our hard earnt money these politicians are spending. Who said we wanted to spend billions on fighting wars we are never going to win. Please lets get organised to demonstrate against these policitians who treast us as cash machines, we will have to demonstrate our utter disgust at these people in public life who are letting us down. To all fellow fair minded and working people

I would like to register my disgust at all the political parties for their utter contemp of the working class and middle class people of Britain.

When is somebody going to stand up for us and the high taxes that finance this gravy train. It’s our hard earnt money these politicians are spending. Who said we wanted to spend billions on fighting wars we are never going to win. Please lets get organised to demonstrate against these policitians who treast us as cash machines, we will have to demonstrate our utter disgust at these people in public life who are letting us down.

Allow energy exploration to take a natural course and not be the result of fits and starts that happen because politicians force one type of energy on us instead of another (solar instead of nuclear for example).

The government -subsidized ethanol program has been a total disaster. Not only did the diversion of corn for fuel production reduce the world's food supply, but it did little to reduce the demand for fossil fuels. The whole issue of developing alternative energy sources for America is very complicated. Last year when the oil producers (namely OPEC) were selling oil at $147 a barrel, everyone was scrambling for alternatives; now that oil is $47 a barrel no one cares about alternatives. The problem is we are very vulnerable to the oil exporting countries for our critically needed energy supplies. Once the world-wide recession eases off, and demand pressures begin to out-strip supplies the price for a barrel of oil will shoot right back up to $147. Whatever the future may bring in terms of oil prices, we all know that it's only a matter of time (maybe a few decades) before the easily accessible oil supplies will be gone, and supply & demand pressures will determine where we go from there. I am very, very leery about the government creating artificial supply curves based on what they think the future holds for energy supplies. This kind of central planning almost never works. <abbr><em>askcherlock’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.askcherlock.com/?p=430" rel="nofollow">Earth to Gliese 581; Come in Please</a></abbr></em> Harrison,
