I think it's a big conspiracy. George Bush has a dart board with gas prices that he throws a dart at every morning to see what it's going to be.
Gas is at 4.09 here.
We should raise the cost of a bushel of our grain to the same price as a barrel of oil... just for the OPEC nations. That will drive down the price fairly quick.

I agree electric cars the the way to go. They may not be green now, but electric cars would enable a seemless (for the american consumer) transition to completely green, renewable resources. Right now electricity is made from mostly coal, but over the years this shifts to wind, solar, hydro-electric, nuclear, recycling ect. ect. ect. and the consumer doesn't need to buy another car to use all of these. Electricity is going to be what we end up with.
Until then say hellow to $8 a gallon gas. Wouldn't be so bad if we wouldn't hammer down on emmisions, in Europe they get 80-90 mpg in their non-hybrid cars and we get 30-40 on our best new "incredibly efficient" cars. And why? Because there are emmision limits put to try and stop global warming in the US, but you know what emmisions aren't cut in half but gas mileage is so emmisions are actually increased through these stupid laws.
Its all a bunch of political bullcrap causing trouble. Every generation of people leave a deep wound on the world for the next generation to try and figure out. Last generation it was oil and global warming, we have to fix it, but in doing so we'll probably leave another huge problem for the next generation. Maybe it will be a shortage of silicon used for computers and electronics. Just look for something that is used ALL the time and isn't easily recycled and you'll find something that will eventually be a problem.
Oh btw a couple pages back there was a post on how air used in the air-powered car would screw up the ecosystem, well the air is just used to store energy, it isn't used up at all, it is compressed, then released back into the atmosphere, it has no effect on the enviroment besides the power used to compress it which is electricity mostly.
Electricity is the key and making it will turn from coal to more enviromentally friendly ways and thats that. Now on to our generations problem, could be overpopulation?!?!?!?

Okay this is just really making me mad. The problem is big government. Saying that the government needs to fix something is the problem.
The free market will correct things if the government stays out of it. If the government removes restrictions and lets the high prices push investors we will start drilling.
We are not drilling because lobbiest have convinced government not to let us.
Lets also talk about the gloom and doom. Really the media is hyping all this crap. The housing market did not crash. It corrected it's self. The price of gas is jumping because we have not done anything since the 70s but make more restrictions, and think things will stay rosie. The dollar no longer buys as much as it use to, not because America is falling apart, but because the rest of the world is catching up. Deal. This is still the best place to live, and until we tell the government to step off and let the free markets set the prices we will stay here.
PS the next President no matter which wins will increase government and take away your rights.
The Oil companies they want to go after are all owned by our banks and the investments of most of America's retirement funds. So punishing them will only hurt your own investments.
Also record profits do not matter when it costs you more than it ever has to produce the product. Think about it. We are wanting to take money away from companies that are paying record prices for raw materials.
The Ecomony can be fixed stop giving people stuff for free. Stop paying people to not grow crops when we have record grain demand. Stop giving people money not to work when we have growing markets around the world begging for high tech quality goods produced in America. Stop complaining about not getting loans when it is not profitable to loan money out to buy houses, when small business can truly return a profit. STOP DEPENDING ON OTHER PEOPLE. STOP DEPENDING ON THE GOVERNMENT.
Oh PS the stock market is rebounding, CD's are at record low interest rates, invest in the market before it passes you by! We will hit record highs by the end of the year!

Economics 101- Gas is not subject to supply and demand. One of the first things we learn. Gas for the most part has a static demand. No matter what the price. You may be able to make the case that it is not, but even when price gets crazy high the demand does not drop off enough to be considered in step with supply and demand theory
One more rule. Who hear is willing to pay an extra 300 dollars for a fish you can get for 5 dollars?
Why do we expect the jobs of factory works to be kept at 30 dollars an hour? Why when these people lose their job they find it hard to work for less or do more to keep the same wage? That is the problem, many have over estimated their worth.
PS family is factory works and I was one too, please do not give me that sob story crap or that I am a moron crap. We all penny pinch lets punish businesses who do this. Of course unless it is your own business. Oh am with this horrible economy my family business made more than ever and grossed an extra 3 million. Oh and we are being taxed to death for being successful.

I am teacher! Social studies to be exact. I know I am replaceable. Not only that I know I have to go above and beyond daily to keep my job, and I am a great teacher. (Quote from letter campaign the families did. They thought I was going to get fired.) If a person who is good at his job and does extra is replaceable, what about the people who do less?
As you can see we have hit a sore spot for me. I could go on for years!
