I will declare the people of this country awake when they vote for real change and if the change doesn't happen change their leadership in the next election. I'm sick to death of our leaders argueing the color of #^&#^&#^&#^&e, doing nothing but pitting the citizens against one another, serving big business and big finance all the while congratulating themselves.

The prices are controlled by the speculation of the people with the most money. Those who gamble millions or billions every day on whether the price will go up. OF COURSE IT WILL GO UP THAT'S HOW THEY GOT THE MOST MONEY!!!! ANd they keep that money, no loans, no fair pricing. Benefits like health insurance are no longer a benefit but a larger deduction than taxes when you figure in co-pays and deductibles. That's only one example. This country is based on the profit for a few, everyone else can go pound sand. You think Social Security is a scam? How'd your 401K work out. Twice in my working life I've seen them stolen, yes stolen, there's no better word for it. Then it was our savings, our inversments and our homes. They want it all. The more that theyget and hold the less it is worth, ironically. That's basically why a dollar ain;t worth crap, and it's harder to earn one now.
DEEP BREATH
Things will not get better in this country until we the people stop bickering about inconsequential BS like Charlie Effin Sheen! Sorm the Capitol. We like to blame our woes on each other ("they"like it,too) and illegal aliens, and teachers, and pitbulls, and gays, and whateverelse they tell us to bitch about. They know how to push the buttons, and they are virtuosos at it. Learn to question everything learn to recognize propaganda. Learn to identify the real enemy. One clue to propognada is this: if it's directed at emotion and not reason it's either an out and out lie , a misdirection, or misinformation.
I need to lie down now...

Just paid $3.55 for reg unleaded.
Pumped $50 in the tank of my V10 ford superdudy, was on empty now reads 1/3.
Won't be driving that truck much now that the snow is done.
Maybe I'll give my 4cyl Ranger a good tune soon.

I haven't seen diesel less than $4.00

Speaking of diesel.
Cheaper to refine than gas but about 50cents more. That makes a lot of sense !
Every truck moving goods around the country runs on diesel !

Because there's a additional road tax on it.

Larry, what do you mean by wake up?

Are people supposed to stop driving?How is that working for you. It's one thing to have an epiphany, and another to have a solution.Tell us what the "wake up" entails, will you be leading a march on Capitol Hill?
