has anyone noticed that the price of everything just seems to be going up and up and up? it just seems like everything is going up, groceries, gas....etc...i don't know why everything is going up so much...i know that it has something to do with the economy but i am not really sure how that is helping by running everything up, because i can assure you that most jobs aren't paying people more because they can't afford it either..i now of some trucking companies that are having to shut down because of gas prices...so what is your take on all of this?

Yes, the prices of everything is going up and up. It has to do with the cost of oil. Because of the price of oil being so high it costs more for us to buy gas. And it costs the trucking companies more to get diesel to deliver our foods to the stores and so it is costing the manufactures more to pay for the cost of trucking and then the manufatures have to charge more to us, the consumers, to make up the cost of the fuel. So it has a ripple effect and we the consumer, pay the price. I think that something really bad is going to happen and until them it is only going to get worse. The days of our gas being under $1.00 a litre are long gone.

Hi, you are right. Here is the same and I think that it is the same in all the world now. I really don't know the way it all will end. Jobs here don't giving any augmentation of salary but things going up every day. It is hard to keep all the things working well with this situation. I think that all of us will need to make changes in our lifes.

everything is going up because gas is, they have to transport all those goods by vehicle, meaning they need to use the gas... not to mention the economy is going down down down.... Jobs are hard to find because the economy is harsh... ... and the stimulus was to laugh at....
