I am amazed its being reported! Not only is gas and he heating oil more, but our entire economy is built on oil! Cost of food? Oil. Cost of textiles? Oil. These green idiots ate quite literally killing America.
Sure gas is high, but have you been to the grocery store lately?
A piece of round tough steak run through a tenderiser goes for $6.99 a lb. and don’t even dare look at a T-bone you will get a heart attack.Ground beef $3.99 a lb.
Even a can of Spam will set your heart to fluttering.
$3.79 a gallon for heating fuel, a fill up was $713.00 dollars last month. Kerosene for my heater in the garage was $4.19.
Between gas, fuel oil and food my check is gone.
Luckily in better days I paid for my house so no house payment, but the money I now pay in property taxes is more than the original payment for the house was.
Obama and his federal taxes are bad, but what the feds fail to see is that when they raise taxes, the State does the same thing, then the county does the same thing , then they raise sales taxes too.
I am a lucky man, I have my health when all around me many of my friends are having knees relaced, stents put in, heart by passes, I have none of these things and am still in good shape except for arthritis, but I fear when Obamacare comes in and they cut me off with rationing if I need them will be able to get them?
The real story is that the cost of oil is up because the cost of production is up. Some of this is due to exploratory costs, but much is due to the decline in the value of the USD. If you track oil to gold, it is not out of the realm for oil to increase to $120 per barrel.
That was their plan from the beginning.
