Robbed at the GAS Pump

Ok gas has just reached $4.00 here in good ol' north cackalacky. I'm not a big fan of people being highway robbed at the pump. I mean gas, it is the means for everything, work, school, it is plain NECESSARY for transportation to exist. After thinking a few things over I've come to the conclusion that the high gas is just a conspiracy. But Bush in office and make all the poor people poorer and the rich people/ gas companies richer. Things will only change when the rich people start complaining about the price of gas, or its cutting into profits. For a while there I thought that car companies were in cahoots with the oil companies because cars keep getting more expensive as a person wants to start to buy a car to get more MPG. Well thats not true anymore, especially when car companies like FORD are cutting the production of its pickup trucks and SUV's because its loosing profit. The big companies loosing money, big Whoop. Why? Because the federal government is quicker to bail out a declining fortune 500 than it is to make sure that the American people can survive daily. Another thing is hybrid and electric cars. It's bad that people can barley afford one car but it is becoming more of a need to get these alternative cars, which are very overpriced because of supply and demand. When demand becomes high because of these gas prices, the prices of these automobiles will skyrocket. I would love to trade in a current vehicle for the alternative but that isn't possible, I'd be out $11,000 and that would be added to the current value of the alternative. So my hybrid vehicle would cost me $11,000 more that the actual value for starters. There has to be a way of getting the necessary technology out there, its called mass production, but somethings or some companies are putting a hold on the mass production of technology that would greatly help the American public all to makes sure they continue making a profit. This is where president Bush comes in again. He's going to leave office a very rich man because of the chaos he's creating with the rising gas prices, declining economy, loss of jobs, high home foreclosures, etc.



Why of all the years has gas been such of an importance? I have never had to choose between food and gas, ever in my life. I remember when there was a time in which $5 bux would get me almost half a tank. What is the world coming to? The economy won't get any better if the people that are supposed to be stimulating the economy can't. And what the hell is 600 dollars going to do, what is that going to stimulate, the the way gas prices are heading, 600 covers 6 tanks or less of gas. That stimulus check on stimulates anger what is the federal government thinking? Oh wait, I know, give the people money and they will forget that the gas is increasing. The but a bandaid will not work. Open your eyes people something has to be done. What is happening to the American people is highway robbery. Because of GAS everything is taking a hit: food industry, travel industry, electricity. This is all parts of life. I guess I won't be taking that road trip across the US anytime soon, not until wages start to level back out with this spike in gas and food prices.

If you can't take the gas hike then here are some possible solutions to your gas problem: get a bike, walk, car pool, get a scooter (if its in your budget), picket against the rising gas prices (if you on the verge of loosing your job because you can't afford to get there), use public transportation if its available, or buy an electric or hybrid car( this is very expensive and the government isn't making it any easier for people to be able to afford these alternatives to gas).
