He’s only 50c short of 4.00 a gallon of gas, here in the SE anyway. I’m sure he is working on it.

“He’s only 50c short of 4.00 a gallon of gas, here in the SE anyway. I’m sure he is working on it.”

I’m still sitting here wondering why, with gas prices having risen as much as they have, with the economy in the doldrums, and a whole host of other kitchen table issues, did these morons re-elect the Boy King? Have we, as a country, devolved into that many brain-dead people? Or have they really bought off on the “Free $hit Society? Then again, when you watch “Watters World” on Fox, you can really see that it probably has happened. The last “man/woman on the beach episode the best he got was one out of five questions answered correctly. Most were 0 for 5. Another generation with a few million illiterate Mexicans, and America will just go away.

Funny how gas is so expensive and yet not a peep about this in the lame stream joke media.
If a republican was in office the media would be going mad and reporting on this gas price , but because it’s their messiah in office then all is well.

A gallon of gasoline is four dollars or a little more where I live. A gallon of GASAHOL is three and change. If I actually believed in the minimum wage concept I would say that the minimum wage should be twenty dollars based on the fact that in 1963 it was one dollar and a quarter and that would buy five gallons of pure gasoline here. Now five gallons of pure gasoline costs twenty dollars or slightly more. The price of food has followed a similar curve. It probably costs nearly twenty dollars to buy what one and a quarter bought then. The official CPI figures from the government are ridiculous. The chart says that $9.74 will buy what $1.25 bought in 1963. Anyone who believes that is either too young to remember or has a bad memory. They come up with that by using all kinds of “adjustments” that have zero to do with the cost of survival. Anyone who made twice that one and a quarter an hour in 1963 could do very well in my neck of the woods. You can make $18.48 now and not do nearly as well as you could do on $2.50 then.
