[[Incidentally, many federal employees in Washington DC get transportation subsidies so $4 gas won’t hurt them as much as it hurts other taxpayers.]]

Hell- most govenrment employees get $160 ‘allowances’ PER DAY for ‘expenses’- this is ABOVE AND BEYOND their exhorbitant salaries which MOST don’t even earn- beign absent from office almsot half the year-

I get $10 per day on my fixed income- it’s a damn good hting I don’t have to drive anywhere really- this $10 has to go for food, there’s NOTHING left over for Gasolin e these days- and prices of food is skyrocketing due to higher delivery charges bwecause of hte rise in gas prices

Congress didn’t give out Cost of livign increases for 2 years now- but they damn sure gave themselves raises- Yep- their motto is ‘screw the poor- we’re gettign ours while we can’

$160 per day ‘allowance’? I only WISH I had such a luxury!!!
