Crude Oil just doesnt seem to stop rising but I dont understand why we depend on foreign countries when we have all the natural resources in our own continent. Why spend all this money over there and not use our own natural resources. Crude oil rose 3% and a barrel is now $82.17. This is ridiculous I think. We are wasting so much money getting oil from Iran and the Middle East. I think we need to cut these expenditures off and start using our own oil. The prices are ecomincally outrageuos for the middle class of the U.S. and someone needs to stand up for these people. This generation is not going to make if it if somthing doesnt happen soon.
