Congress, had better start thinking about repealing their 1 trillion dollars in discretionary spending for next year’s budget.   My co-workers are complaining about the projected cost of heating oil in the Northeast.  They are already starting to stock pile food.   I sure hope that Congress does not return to the price controls of the Carter administration.   They only cause shortages.  We need Congress to stop raising the budget and start cutting.  What would really help everyone right now would be an energy tax credit.  People need to drive to work in many cases, and we do not have 30 years to wait for new rail lines.   People in the Northeast are going to need heating oil come October, so Congress had better start passing something now or else people are going to freeze to death this winter.  Maybe Dodd could let us stay at his place since he is getting such a good deal on his Countrywide mortgage.
