"When gas was $.50 and went up to $1, everybody screamed. When gas fell back to $.75 everybody cheered.
When gas was $1.75 and went up to $3.25, every body screamed. When gas fell back to $2.25, everybody cheered."
When your salary went from 6.50/hr to 10.50/hr for the same job, you cheered!
Not a very good analogy. I have no problem that gas has gone up, I merely commented on the fashion that it does.
