Summer is coming up and for us their will be no summer vacation. Who can afford to go anywhere when all your money will be spent on filling up the gas tank? I think what really makes my blood boil is that all these politicans act like they feel our pain. What a crock!! Most of them make enough money to make all of us jump for joy if we made what they do. They have no idea what it's like to try to decide how to pay one bill or another and still have enough money to put gas in the car. Depending on how far you drive back and forth to work is gonna depend on how much you pay per week. It also depends on what kind of car you drive and what kind of gas mileage you get. None of these people seem to get it.. For us gas on a monthly basis is about $250 a month. Maybe that dosn't seem like a lot to them but to us it's a small fortune. What do they care? They sit there with their cushy jobs and they could care less. I would love for every one of them to try to live on just one average Americans income for a month and see how they would like trying to make ends meet. Wonder how they would feel about the gas prices then? Betcha they would be hopping mad if they had to try to figure out how to feed their family or put gas in the car so they could go to work. And if one of their family members was on disability they would really have a fun time trying to pay the bills. WHAT I WANT IS SOME RELIEF!! Not empty promises. Any one can make a promise but what you need to do is keep it. Lower the gas prices so Americans can function again awithout trying to figure out how to pay the bills or put gas in the car. What miracles can we expect with the people we have in office now? NONE!!!
