Oil Prices and Aid
With the 300% price increase on a barrel of oil being charged by the members of OPEC, I wonder if the OPEC nations still need the foreign aid and military aid the United States provides some of the countries. With the profits they are making, they should be able to take care of their own domestic and military needs.
The foreign aid and military aid funds should be redirected for relief of the gasoline-buying public in the United States.
