Anyone who reads this blog probably knows i am unemployed at the moment,And the ever rising gas prices make the job searching even more difficult.If anyone has had to the whole job search thing will agree with,You are doing ALOT of driving.I was sitting here tonight,After writing my earlier post,When i decided to go over roughly how much i have spent on gas since i was fired in March.I am shocked to say it is Way over 200 dollars (And counting)So that is around 100 dollars a month,And i am not even driving as much as i used to!Granted i have made 1 trip to Harrisburg,And maybe 2 trips to see the Keys,But if i had been working i am sure i would have made a few more then that.So last night i was over at My friend Shawn's house,And myself,Shawn,And his lovely wife Cherie.We started talking about a trip we have planned for next week,The talk then turned to all the reports saying how travel is going to be cut back this holiday weekend.Everyone has been saying gas prices will not hit $4.00 a gallon till after the holiday,Wrong answer.Going to the store this afternoon, I saw gas at $3.90 a gallon,This is up over 10 cents since last night!No matter what happens, The Oil companies will get their fat ass pockets lined with the cash of HARD working people(And those who aren't working)All i can hope for is whoever gets elected in November,Can turn this clusterfuck around!How is it we had oil at $42.00 a barrel in Nov 2004,And now it closed at $137.50?Oh that's right,We had to go to war against a country that did nothing but have oil.It's a goddamn shame that this country has been screwed up by a bunch of republicans with the agenda to make as much money as they can before they leave office. But it's not just oil,Housing prices are at their lowest in decades..I could go on and on, But i would be writing all night..Rising gas costs crimping budgets - Oil & energy- msnbc.com,Why gas prices have gone from 90 cents to $4 a gallon. - May. 20, 2008(Photo credit http://www.myetv.org/katrina/pictures.cfm )
