Comment Text:
I am writing the CFTC today because I am very concerned with the level of speculation in our commodities markets and how that uncontrolled speculation is effecting middle-class Americans such as myself. While experiencing several bouts of job loss in our family over the past 4 years, costs for gasoline, food, clothing and other necessities continue to rise, partly due to market speculators out to profit greatly from, what I consider to be, unfair market manipulation.
I believe it is time to limit this activity and reign in the rampant commodities speculators. We all most work together to solve our countries economic woes and the CFTC should be part of that effort. That is why it is time for the CFTC to reject the Wall Street lobbyists and do what is just and right for the American people by imposing and enforcing significant position limits.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
