What Are You Willing To Give Up To Stop A Dictator

 What Are You Willing To Give Up To Stop A Dictator

We Americans are spoiled. The poorest of the poor are still better off from the poor in other nations. The American middle class live better and have more options than many democratic countries. The rich - well, they're rich everywhere.

The Russian Dictator is invading a wonderful country without a cause or reason (other than power). 24% or about 75 million Americans think America sucks. One ex-president likes this Dictator because he would love to have his power.

The American President and his allies are standing up to this Dictator. The result, so far, is higher gas prices. Sooo, instead of paying $40 to fill up your car you're paying $80. Wow, that's $40 more. That's about 25% of your cable bill. O'my, we have to give up eating an expensive meal every other week. Shit, we have to buy one less video game. Dam, we can't go to a movie every week. I could go on and on, but I hope you get my point.

The inflation we're having now is not about the sanctions we have imposed. Our current inflation will subside over time as it's done many times before. However, fuel prices will always be high until we reduce our need for oil and gas. 

Sooo, are we willing to buy a car that gets much better gas mileage instead of a gas guzzler? Are we willing to give up some of the wonderful things we have in life to; 

Stop A Dictator
