Pot Calls Kettle Black

The Congress of the United States of America never ceases to amaze me. I only heard snippets of the grilling of oil company executives, but it seems to me it is a classic example of the “pot calling the kettle black.”

Do I wish I had invested in oil rather than airlines? Yes! But oil company executives don’t set the price of oil –speculators do. Isn’t our whole economy based on the premise that one charges what the market will bear? That’s Capitalism. It’s better than Socialism, right! And these people in Congress who do NOTHING but talk (there have been 45 such excursions into “gas” pricing without so much as one change in law or any attempt to allow for the increase in production of domestic oil and refinery capabilities) are the same folks who keep raising their own salary and benefits, spending your money on barrels of pork that benefit the few, using your grand-children’s income to pay entitlements today, and showing up for work a couple of days a week between endless vacations and junkets abroad, or of course, not at all (except to pick up a paycheck) if running for some other office.

If God ran His personal business in this fashion, He would be all talk and no blessing. Instead He keeps lavishing His grace on our Nation while we seemingly try to shut Him out at every turn.

Is it hot in here?
