Big government is doing a great job at working to bail out Wall Street and big business. When is big government going to work to help bailout Main Street people when it comes to everyday gas prices and oil to heat our homes? Why can’t the Feds give $700 billion to the citizens of this great country in order to help pay for gas and heat? Instead, they ask us to pay for the greed of big business.

Here’s a suggestion: Take the profits from Exxon Mobil and others and bail out other sectors of business instead of putting more burden on the average citizen. Government should also stop price gouging at the pump. Suggestion: $1.50 per gallon flat rate for gas; ration gas by allowing people to fill their vehicles up on certain days of the week to cut back on consumption.

More money in our pocket, less consumption of gas.
