CARACAS, VENEZUELA -- After a four-hour closed-door meeting Monday, Jesse Jackson and Venezuela President Hugo Chavez announced a plan to help the poor in the United States weather the storm of rising fuel costs this winter.

Chavez said that the Venezuelan-owned, Texas-based Citgo Petroleum Co. would offer to poor schools, hospitals, churches and other groups 66,000 barrels a day of oil products refined at its U.S. plants

4. That's interesting

No wonder why it was 40 cents more a gallon.

5. confusing

I thought that Chavez was going to help us out. Shouldn't the price have decreased instead of increased?
