Uh, milk is no issue with me. Ya see we only use about 1 gallon a week.
Fuel is a slightly different issue.
Obviously, you’ve not raised a passel of teenaged boys!
I was kidding about the milk. It just FLOORS me that people get all bent about one COMMODITY over another.
I blame the MSM. And Publik Skrewl. And the fact that no one (besides me, of course...well maybe Thomas Sowell) understands the basics of Economics or a Supply Side Economy!
(And I’m just a boring old Mom. You couldn’t pick me out of a line-up if you tried.) ;)
We don’t use Milk by the 15 gallon purchase either. And we don’t need it to drive to work or get anywhere else, not to mention heat our home.
It isn’t just gas however, it is the fact that gasoline increases have increased the cost of everything else. Groceries have doubled, for instance, due to transport/delivery charges for super markets. Even staples at Walmart have gone up. There is now, too much month at the end of the money. I feel for young people just starting out, it effects them the most.
What we SHOULD be doing, is telling environmental wacko’s to pound sand, and drill our own, and allow the oil companies to update their refineries and build new ones!
