Raising the federal gas tax

Hate to say it, but your petrol prices compared to UK prices are still really cheap - we pay £5.36 per gallon at todays price, that converts (exchange rate today $1.9530) to $10.71 per gallon...Britain also is "dying" at the pumps, and no doubt yet again it will go up at the week-end.....and I wont even start on the food prices! ouch...... did a weekly shop last week-end (weekly!) at the till it came to £157.00 that equates to $306.62 and will have to do the same next weekend, there are only 4 of us in our household (plus the house pets) .....I sympathise with parents of large families, it will become a big struggle to feed our families....ranting and someone please check my maths, never was a "maths" person.... going to have to shut up now as it gets me mad!

All I have to say, is when something goes wrong, everyone wants to blame the Right-Wingers, when Congress is nearly all to the left, who has all the say-so in what passes and what doesn't, NOT the president. Take a Consitution course.


We're about to be all left-wing in office.


Lots of high gas prices while we continue to bring in oil from overseas, paying eight or nine dollars a gallon while working on our "natural resources"...when we could in the meantime drill OUR coasts.

would they bring some cases of Molson and Labatts with them??? That'd sure be tempting...

Kimmie- I LOVE the sig line!

How often I took that to heart, I have lost count

R&SMom -- thanks.

That book has come in handy.


My mother tends to call me her little Scarlett O'Hara. Although I can't for the life of me figure out why!

I don't know what we would do if we lived in Europe. They are paying twice as much as we are, and it's freakin ridiculous!!! I wish I had the money to go buy 20 acres and some old fashioned farm equipment, cause then we'd live off the land and nothing else....

That is just too funny! 4 more years and we and we could celebrate the 200th by doing it again.

How about we just save the time and aggravation of a border skirmish
and give you guys Buffalo and Seatle?


Hmmm, on second thought Toronto would make a nice addition to the U.S..

But would anyone in the government know what to do with a city that doesn't have a trillion dollar deficit?
