"Oil Minister Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum said that when the Cabinet increased prices, it also decided that the extra money would be used to establish a fund for more than 2 million low-income families to help them pay for the fuel." (oil profits being used to lower fuel costs to the consumers? HOW UNAMERICAN! No, really. That is unAmerican. - Vox)
"Some aid money was supposed to reach the families before the price increases, but that did not happen, he said."


How did the Bush address miss this?
