I shake my head watching the news, almost to tears...no uproar in our great country at gas being $3.19 here in Cincinnati. Why is there no uproar? Why are the masses so ignorant of: * Obama us unconstitutionally declared offshore drilling illegal * Obama and the Dems have stopped any drilling in ANWR * Obama has the EPA and other fiat groups * The media/MSM have perpetrated the lie that it is because China and India demand that our gas is so high... * The media have perpetrated the lie that it is OPEC that have forced the high prices...bull crap
The truth is our president has by fiat caused this and is also by Soros and his gang favoring the foreign drillers he invests in.
The truth is if there was an uproar with pitchforks and if our Republican real leaders would be on the news telling the truth about this, we'd be drilling in our country, have more refineries, nuclear plants, and being free of Saudi and OPEC.
That's the truth, all else is bull crap, even from folks on our FREEP have bought the "demand issue" as the culprit. Horse crap.
Only about $2.78 here in Biloxi/Gulfport. Unfortunately, I drive an old diesel Mercedes and that’s around $3.10.
Oh, and natural gas will go sky high, too. ;-)
America is dead.
Drill Baby Drill !
Why is there no uproar? One, because oil is only “big oil” when a republican is in the white house. And two, the media wouldn’t report it if there was an uproar.

I'm not happy with either Democrats (of course) or Republicans. Both are in the pockets of communist-sympathizing free traitors, who have too many relatives in government employment. There's nothing conservative about that.
And both Democrats and Republicans pass too much spending and too many anti-business regulations in their own locales (see zoning laws against small manufacturing starts on large acreages in remote areas).
They refuse to allow Americans to drill for American oil in American waters and on American soil... but gladly lease the same to foreigners. They allow our enemies (all of whom - save Canada - seem to be swimming in oil for some reason) to dictate our foreign policy. They impose taxes and regulations that destroy incentives for rational energy production while pushing unprofitable public expenditures (misnamed "investments") on solar and wind power.
If I didn't know better, I'd think our own government was trying to destroy our nation. But I don't know any better - because the truth presents itself openly whereas lies often require creative elaboration.
There's your bumper sticker!
Oil-Bama!

Fuel Taxes
The 18th amendment to the Washington State Constitution dedicates motor fuel tax collections to “highway purposes”. Revenue generated from the gas tax is distributed to counties, cities and state accounts. The state receives about half of the total revenues collected. These are the funds which support the WSDOT highway programs as well as the Washington State Ferry System, which is deemed a state highway system by constitution. Highway construction, maintenance, preservation, administration and debt service on highway construction bonds are all funded by these revenues.
The other half of the fuel tax revenues are distributed directly to cities, counties and other agencies for roadway programs that are not part of the state highway system.

Says they aren’t receiving their 50% of this gas tax money....hmmm where is it going?
If you have information where the counties sock away this money that the State of Washington is giving directly to cities and counties for “Road Programs” (defined??)
Stevens County references this chapter that includes bike paths etc http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=36.81.121
Maybe you are right. I believe the Constitutional Amendment only affected the money that the State Spends though.
East Asia, with manufacturing increasing over the past several years, is consuming more fuel despite claims since the middle of 2007 that the opposite would happen with our lack of personal borrowing and spending. Here, in the USA, when people are tired of watching TV, they drive around. Supply & demand. Free markets. With inflation in China, the prices of its products will rise for us, too.
Gasoline and propane will go much higher over the next year and a half. Eventually, most employees at every level of government will be laid off. We’ll get better leadership and smaller government out of the deal.
Maybe we’ll see nuclear exchanges. Globalism is about to die. So is political correctness. Regulations won’t be as enforceable. The neighborhood hens will become quieter (see lack of enforcement, public school employees unemployed, dead HOAs, etc.). Now there’s some good news. ;-)
All,
Boehner needs to be pushed to deal with this; I left a voicemail at his office...I suggest EVERYONE call his office and/or email and fax him!!!

Sounds like a plan if the crap keeps hitting the fan any longer.
