I filled up my car today. I drive a cavalier which has pretty good gas mileage and a pretty small gas tank. It wasn't even empty and it cost me $63. That's pretty insane! This weekend is a long weekend here too so I'm sure gas prices will be hiked even more tomorrow.

I filled up today for $3.89 a gallon and was happy to see that.
Sadly I can still remember the gas wars from years ago.. The cost of living has skyrocked and wages do not (at least mine, where I work last October they put a freeze on our wages, will not increase to show cost of living ever) compensate for the rise, yet I feel fortunate to still have a job. When will the Government step up to the plate and say enough is enough?? |

I really believe if our gov't wanted to do something, they would have done it. We might as well face it...things are going to get more tough than they've ever been.
Rich will get richer, poor will get poorer and then civil and race wars will break out. It's not going to get even a little bit better. So much crime between the have's and have nots. Wish there was something that could be done, but it's not to be......JMO

Okay, don't blast me here.....but I'm going to say this, and this comes from a former Republican. This is what we get for electing Republicans. We were bullied into it because the Democratic party stands for gay rights and pro-choice which many of us are opposed to. This caused many people to vote Republican. It is the MORAL thing to do.
However, along with the package comes a preference for rewarding big business and special interests at the general public's expense. Democrats are more for the working people and we "normal" folks lived better under their leadership. We need another party. A moral party that is for the people. I'm an independant at heart now with Democratic leanings who is prolife. We each make our own moral choices whether things are legal or not. People shouldn't use laws to determine right from wrong. Hope I'm making my point. Somethings got to change!!!

Marilyn, I don't know about that I use to be a registered Democratic but over the years I have been voting Republican. In my state the Democratics have ruined everything.. I think if a Democrat gets into office as president we are going to be in big trouble. Just my opinion of course, and I value yours.. You are right about making moral choices. back to gas prices lol I paid $3.55 in another town by me. In my town it varies from $3.75 and up. |

I have to agree with Marilyn and the Republican agenda. I'm a lifelong Democrat and I am very proud of the accomplishments of my party, for example, Social Security, Workers Compensation, the 40 hour week, child labor laws, Medicare, civil rights, banking regulation, collective bargaining, and environmental protection.
Oh and gas here in Austin today was anywhere between 3.65 and 3.82. |
