When prices were rising it was those evil, greedy oil companies at fault. Going down it's "The One" who gets credit for good outcomes. So when Barry, Harry, and Nancy slap on "windfall" profits tax and carbon cap and trade regulation and prices sky rocket again while supplies dwindle it'll be the evil greedy oil companies at fault once more? I'm hearin' the Four Tops..............

I paid $2.19 yesterday. Put 20 Gallons in without having to swipe the debit card twice for the first time in a long time. Guess there is at least one thing money wise to be thankful for.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Last night, playing some cards, no one had any change. Just bills. Hard to pay quarter - ante with green.
But.. we can all look to have CHANGE in our pockets in a couple years...
AND NO GREEN.
yeah, I belive CHANGE is coming, and CHANGE is all you will have left..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

There has been alot of change in the last 8 years too. Yeah change. Public schools are a mess, the quality of education in the good ole USA is bellow that of most developed countries, due to lack of funding and investing in our kids future. Teachers are faced with small salaries and budgets, but large classroom populations. Health care has gotten worse. Insurance companies continue to make record profits at the expense of the patient. Yeah lots of change. More people can't afford retirement. Record numbers of people have been foreclosed on. Big financial institutions have gone bust.
Obama hasn't even entered office yet, and all of the fear mongering has started. Yeah there will be change it's called the end of self interest. It's called time to focus on the world not ourselves. It is called making sure people have a basic quality of life, and if that is socialism then I'm for it.
Without education, the care givers of this country will continue to make the same mistakes that the greed mongers have for the last 25 years.
Nobody is for supporting people who won't support themselves, but taking away education and health care is not the answer. Were in a mess folks, and we sit sit around all day pointing the finger, or we can suck it up, and move foward investing in our future!
Sorry if I offended anyone, but I have kept silent on this one and it hits too close to home. I was a teacher working 70 hours a week for many years and making less than a living wage. I've broken bones without health insurance and gone hungry to pay my bills. I've put myself through college with student loans that I have payed back. So without all those socialized systems I'd be homeless too.Last edited by stovens; 11-10-2008 at 11:32 AM.

I don't know if you or any other chanter of the "last 8 years" mantra is capable of taking a realistic historical view, but if you are you might learn from reading this: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122626062814011765.html Originally Posted by stovens
