Gas prices are out of control!

Who is pocketing all this money? Seriously, anybody know, cause prices are outrageous and I hear alot of other people pissed as hell about this. I have NEVER seen it get this bad and MILK...another outrage. It's cheaper to just go buy a damn cow.

What the HELL IS GOING ON and WHY are we being robbed at the pump? :shrug:

Just look at gas prices during his father's administration and now.

Can you believe HALF your friends and neighbors support this guy????

Any questions? :evilgrin:

:toast:

"macho" kind of guy and he makes the girls scream and the guys fart:eyes:
:puke:

in 1979 when my daughter was born. When I filled up my tank just before I went into the hospital, in early May, 1979, gas was like...I dunno...69 cents a gallon. Then I gave birth and didn't drive nor have time to watch tv for 6 weeks. When I went out in my car for the first time after she was born and went to fill up, I seriously wondered if I was hallucinating. I think the price went to $1.25 or so. The next problem was that the cost of transporting food went sky high....I remember literally, literally breaking into a sweat waiting for the cashier's total at the grocery store. It was nauseating. Sometimes we can choose other transportation methods or cost savings, but unless you have land to garden, you are at the mercy for food costs.

Guess what, the prices will not ever go back down again.

...of milk lately? Outrageous. It's up to $4.59 a gallon in northern Alabama.

Gone to oil giants every one.

Oh, when will they ever learn,
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Look at the TOTAL NET INCOME line. That's where the money went.

glad to provide the link, it was so easy to find, you'd think Lou Dobbs or some of the investigative journalists could find it, also.

look at the Annual Net Income.

Get used to it. This is the beginning of the end of oil. Sorry.

what's happening is unfettered greed. Oil prices are being artificially inflated. I wonder why.

making hay while the sun shines.

The rat bastards!

has crossed my mind more than twice...they are getting it while the "gettin' is good," that is for them. Meanwhile, the rest of us are struggling...:mad:

However, if you factor in your tax dollars, which support the huge military (and supporting bureacracy) that we need to make sure we have oil, then the real price of a gallon of gas is probably $10 to 15 dollars.

So, we're getting robbed a bunch of ways. Through military spending AND at the wholesale/retail levels. Mostly, it's our fault for being such a huge consumer society.

We use too much gas and oil. It was always our Achilles Heel, and now the chickens have come home to roost.

By all means, let's use it as a campaign issue. But it's really much, much more than liberal/conservative democrat/republican BS.

We need to alter our way of life DRASTICALLY, if we want to survive.

It will rise up as a series of seemingly unrelated events.

Oscillation between economic recessions and rebound
Collapse of the real estate bubble
Social unrest
War
Interruptions in supply and price spikes due to a lack of elasticity in the system
Market speculation (likely the cause of current spike in gas prices)
Blackouts/brownouts
Food shortages
Political mischief

At record highs, in fact. Some coincidence, eh? Not to forget the Big Oil Boys squatting in the White House!

Why is nobody crying "windfall profits" and "gouging"?

gouging...seriously, cause that's exactly what it looks like. What gets me is the smirks and smiles these thieves probably have smeared all over their faces.

was in office and gas prices soared? Oh yeah lack of refineries because Clinton didn't have an energy plan, blah blah blah..

$2.06 a gallon here in Indiana. We need the truckers to shut down the interstate highway systems all across the nation.

but can't remember what it was for:think:

....no more teenagers riding up and down the street with those noisy stereos!!! I actually saw two teens on *gasp* bicycles! :)

Gas is $1.80 here in Austin, Texas as of 10:27:07 PM.
