This issue will impact how voters vote in coming election, as much immigration and terrorism.

I find these figures horrifying.
I was born in the Great Depression and we learned early on to have back-up money———and we’d do without things to make sure that was possible.

The $3.00-$4.00/gallon gas from 2009-2013 didn’t help.
Thank you, Obama.
Thank you, Pelosi

If you're gonna blame them for high prices, why don't they get credit for low prices?
Truth is, the government has little to do with fluctuating oil prices.

In the short run, you’re right. But blocking the Keystone pipeline, declaring Alaskan areas off limits to drilling, regulating refineries into the ground, severely restricting offshore drilling, and other impediments to the oil industry produce artificial scarcity, which puts upward pressure on prices. Fracking is what produced the current low prices not because of but in spite of the administration’s efforts.

I haven’t been in that position since my second year in college. Saving one’s money is one of the keys to happiness.
That said, why does a welfare mother need to save money? She has a guaranteed check from Uncle every month.

They make more money off gas, a higher percentage, than the convenience store owners do. For doing absolute jack sh1t and making it harder for businesses to operate.

I’m sure.
In the meantime, the lower prices are like having an extra $100.00 per week.

By ‘starve the monkeys’, what do you mean?
If you’re referring to a specific race, that’s dirty pool.
Remember that there are lots of people from a LOT of different races who rely on the government.
And, once they’ve been ‘starved’, are they to just die? I’m sure many here would like that!/s
