Live near your work and services and use public transit. Simple. The guy probably wouldn't have been poor if he hadn't been sending all his disposable income to the middle east.
The 'administration' is doing the same things as the Republicans before them did. The only difference is that you weren't whining then since it was Republicans and not Democrats. Many of the things you are pissed about were either already being done by Bush, would have been done by Bush or would have been done by McCain.
Time to put away the emotions and start thinking for yourself.
If you can't address my entire, rather short, post and have to quote each little piece, then you should be spending a lot more time at the library and a lot less time on the internet.
This entire post is nothing but mindless blather.
Yes, there is indeed an excuse for ignorance. That excuse is liberalism, as evidenced by your post.
I'm not stupid and and have structured my life to not use much gas.
I've only purchased one new car. Those times that I felt I needed a car, a purchased used ones. Bought a Dodge Omni for $600, put 32,000 miles on it and sold it for $800.

You can buy a lot more gasoline if you don't have a car payment. And you can buy even more if you don't have to fork out money for new car insurance. And you can buy a lot more if you ride the bus or walk. I used to ride the bus to work and walk home. It was only a 40 minute walk.
There's a lot of phatbutts that need to be walking.
Not using gasoline...

Gas prices were highest in 2008 while Bush was President - a fact that many Republicans seem to forget, or don't want to admit.
Yes they were, but what were they when Obama took office and what are they now? What will they be a year from now? Many things dictate the price of gasoline. The president has limited control, but takes the hit at election time. If gas prices are high at election time, do you think you can spin it as Bush's fault again? I kinda doubt it.

I never said it was Bush's fault, d.w. The point is that the President has little or no control over gas prices, regardless of the political party he belongs to.
