Well Duh !!!! It’s the begining of summer, and we have a bunch of greedy rich bastards on wall street driving the prices up on speculation, and Oil company CEO’s getting fat bonuses, Not to mention a worthless, do nothing President that’s brain dead. He wants the economy to recover ( Or so he Says ) but that can’t happen when we all have to pour our money in the gas tank, leaving nothing to spend. Now how does that dumb bell expect the economy to recover.
This whole country is going to Hell, and it’s only going to get worse unless Oil is taken off the stock market. ” The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer “.

Well at my previous job I was barely paid above minimum wage. That did not help me pay for gas and my car insurance. Heck, it only paid for my gas. Thanks to my loving parents I was able to get them to cover my car insurance because I commute to college every day. Considering my job also did not give me a lot of hours, I only had $10 dollars left over for “fun” money. I know I should be buckling down for my future but I’m still single, how am I supposed to take a girl out to dinner when I can’t even pay my bill at a decent restaurant?

Amazing what happens when the USD begins its sharp decline. Everything priced in USD skyrockets. You know, in Canadian dollar terms, the price of gas and oil are barely up year over year. It’s mainly your USD that is starting to fall for many reasons. 1) massive debts, and US government close to bankruptcy 2)major unfunded laibilities for healthcare 3)wars 4)the U.S. fed is printing massive amounts of money 5) the U.S. fed is LOWERING interest rates (that is dumb if you want to keep a fiat currency value high!) 6)boomers will be retiring 7)idiots with sub-prime mortgages (not all are idiots, many were tricked/duped) 8)the U.S. government no longer publishes the M3 index which shows how many USD are in circulation world-wide 9) the rest of the world is starting to diversify away from USD reserves 10) the days of the petro dollar are numbered… every country on earth has to have USD in order to buy oil and this keeps the value of the USD high… if they all sell thier USD and use Euro’s or a basket of currencies, well it won’t be good.

Those are just a few reasons why the currency may eventually collapse if things don’t change. But most of you may think I’m an odd character that is too extreme and will not do anything or scream at your elected officials to do something.
