|  If you have a automobile you most likely have noticed it is getting more costly to fill her up.
A gallon of unleaded in my area is $2.99 and that is at the cheapest station in town.
Chicago residents are paying $3.54 per gallon of gasoline,with a barrel of gas going up we all can expect to be paying even more at the pump.
Today I went to the city to do my monthly grocer shopping at Wal-Mart,three shoppers and my self suffered sticker shock as Wal-Mart has raised their prices on so many foods.
For two year's I paid $2.50 for a item we enjoy eating today that same item was $3.69,I thought my only recourse was to protest by not buying our favor item.
With the cost of food,gasoline,natural gas,
housing,electricity,propane,oil,all out of sight I have to wonder how the every day working family can expect to survive the hell of a mess our citizens has been placed in?
This administration has placed more sales tax on thing's kid's enjoy like soda pop and cookie's they call it sin foods.
So much for not raising your tax one penny if you make under $250,00 or was it $200,00 or thinking about it was it $150,00?
Now the Obama administration is talking about a national sales tax,how much longer will it be that we will be like the Uk,Greece?

Unleaded hit an average of 119.9p a litre for the first time ever, breaking the previous July 2008 record of 119.7p.
But some forecourts are already charging 131.9p a litre – just a penny short of the £6 gallon.
“This is a dark day for Britain’s hard-pressed motorists,” said the RAC. And there is worse to come, warned experts last night.
A perfect storm of rising wholesale costs, the weak pound and more Government tax hikes will propel fuel costs even higher. Drivers were warned to brace themselves for a 5p-a-litre surge in the next three months, pushing unleaded prices to a 125p a litre average by the summer holidays.

Don't look now, but a gradual rise in gasoline prices has suddenly turned into a gallop, with drivers facing a new round of sticker shock.
But as CBS 2's Derrick Blakley reports, the higher prices might actually be a good thing.
The growing pain at the pump kind of snuck up on many Chicago drivers, but now they're really feeling the bite.
"I just paid $3.54 for gas," said Michelle as she filled up at a Chicago gas station. "It's just outrageous."
