THREE ITEMS

ITEM ONE
The "DILBERT" shown in the business pages of the June 10 Indianapolis Star depicts a business leader talking about it not being his fault that his company will write off billions of dollars worth of bad loans: It is the fault of those responsible for "regulatory oversight." In real life, he could take this cockeyed view to kick off a run for congress. There are plenty of the same type of excuse makers there.
ITEM TWO
In the same section of the same paper there was reference to union workers starting an organized protest of rising gasoline prices. With their blind loyalty to the democrats, perhaps these same workers deserve some of the blame for the long term absense of oil drilling and refinery construction in our counry. There would be jobs created and a reasonably quick gasoline price reduction if this effort was started now. Unions do have an interest in job creation, do they not?
ITEM THREE
Radio news reported that the Senate Republicans had blocked a democrat effort to impose windfall profits tax on selected oil companies. Contained within the bill were conditions that would make one wonder about the sanity of the author. THANK YOU GOP SENATORS (and one democrat.)
