Dead on Target, Steve!!

All the 40% inflation on food, etc., the past 2 years (Obama time) is totally due to criminal high gas prices.

Under which recent candidate would we have seen 5 cent a gallon gas?

For some it doesn't show up but in the long run it will. More money will be needed over time to meet the cost of everything.. if you are paying high gas prices for a month it will eventually wear down your paycheck as time goes on.. If you paid 50 dollar more for the month for gas, you are out 50 dollars.. in two months 100 dollars went into the gas tank and so on.. so the longer you pay high prices , the more money will be missing for other things.

Sadly that is true, but it shouldn't be. What should be effective is education. I really can't imagine what people think is going on in the world. Do people have any concept of how much demand for energy is? We in the US have been wasting it for so many years, but I can understand our past, but looking to our future, why on earth would anyone just waste fuel? I remember having a conversation with someone about it and he just said, "Oh, I can afford it." Can anyone be more selfish than that? How about saving a little for the next generation. Have some respect for all those that go to war over our energy consumption. Have some self respect for goodness sake. Quite burying your head in the sand. Demand is high. Speculation is correct and they are bidding it up. The economy is getting better. Do people think energy is going to be cheap again? Really? I am really shocked how silly people think. Does anyone know how big China is? How many people live there? Is their economy growing? Come on people all this is common sense. I am sure you can grasp it.
