Bush says tax rebates going out Monday will help people afford rising gas, food prices

On so many levels you just have to laugh at Bush. He say the rebate check will help the ecomony to help with a spending spree. Now he says it to help with rising gas & food prices. Come on now. Higher gas prices equals higher shipping prices which trickles down to us. It cost more to ship products with increases the price. But Bush is invested into oil so he has no interest in asking OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) to increase oil production which would lower the price per barrel and eventually lower gas prices. Our economy is in a downward spiral, and in my opinion a major part is due to fuel cost. Why is it greed always does more damage then good?
