gas is so highany more. how are we suppose to make living, we work but 70 percent of your check goes to gas, our gas right now is 85 a gallon what is the price of gas where you live? how do you feel about the gas prices right now? maybe we need to start a discussion and send letters to the president and say he is trying to make it easier inthe world finding jobs for everyone but why find a job when you cant even afford to get there any more.

me and hubby have talked about that. it is cheaper for him to stay home and care for the kids then spend the gas in his truck and us get child care. we are sitting at 3.76 and it keeps going up and up. we cant go camping like we usally do cause cant afford the gas to use the truck to get there. so we just go fishing so we can use the car. the only way gas prices will go down and something be done about it is if the truckers and the trucking companies go on strike. granted the states would have issues but if they did it for 1 day or 2 the states would figure something out. we have oil here that we dont get so they cant say it is all cause of the war. why would bush want to do anything. oil is his living and his families living. why stop the cash flow for himself. if truckers striked though it would be such an impact that they would have no chioce. but getting them all to do it on the same day is the hard part. i know some are thinking about it since alot of smaller companies are going out of business due to the prices. alot of lawncare places are shutting down too cause of it. it is hurting everyone but the people that have money in the oil.

wow and i thought our gas was high. you are right we are the ones hurting and the rich dont care. we go camping alot too and we cant this year unless the gas price drops but ihrdly dought that will happen. and for the war i bought that excuse at first but come on does bush think we all are dumb or something its not the war any more. i did see that i made a mistake in my post though i ment gas here is 2.85 a gallon. i really think if everyone can send a letter into the president he migh do something. think about it if 3000 people wrote a letter he probaly would do something.
