Wall Street greed, speculation, and fast-buck artists have wreaked havoc on the American economy and cost of living since the crash of 2002 and we have never recovered our jobs, national economy, or a reasonable security that the economy is stable and rational and we may once more look forward to a healthy, growing economy. A correction is way past due. I support the CFTC's efforts to pass a new set of rules that would limit speculation on 28 core markets, including crude oil, fuel oil, gasoline, and natural gas. These fuels are essential to food production, transportation, and home heating and cooling, the essentials of life for ordinary people, and should not be subject to gamblers artificial manipulation of supply and demand. They should be protected from speculator predation as necessary to the stability of our economy and way of life.
