Default Gas prices go up and our wages stay the same

Makes me sick thinking that gas prices are going up and we are either getting paid the same or worse than before. I love how this economy has taken a beating and continues. I like how everyone blamed Bush yet nothing has changed since he has been gone for a good period of time now and in most situations our country has gotten worse. It stupid how in our little district I live in we spent 10,000 dollars on trash cans, just because they were not the color green. They figured if the cans were green instead of brown people people would think "saving the earth".

-My little rant.

Yeah....I was going to try to sell my truck to get a car this summer. But with gas I doubt I can get much out of my truck, so I guess I'll have to keep it and drive the bike as much as possible to keep my gas costs to a minimum

I feel for ya man. I feel bad for people that bought trucks. 10 years ago when they designed half of these cars they were not worried about gas prices going up more than how much pulling power the truck could handle and what would make it last long. It's a sad day for truck owners since nobody in there right mind expected it and now there worth nothing.

In some ways I think your right. He pissed me off the other night were he was telling the American people that he will try to investigate why and who is making the profits off this gas price increase. Then shortly after that he tells everyone to buy a chevy volt since it was a nice comfortable car. He is in the background with GM for sure we all know that. Just makes me lift my eye a little bit wondering if somebody in his cabinet isn't getting rich.
