So what youre saying is that there hasnt been large amounts of paper money issed in the united states until 71

Hey Tyler,
what I'm trying to say is that it's not just those incedents with Libya and Egypt that are causing fuel to go up, it's alot of other things as well. Oil prices are dropping yes, but we're not seeing it at the pump and all the polichickens have a huge stake in oil, far more than you know. This has been building and building for years.

He's the damn idiot that needs to go and I won't forget the currnt polical parties at hand either. Wish somebody with a set steel balls wud step up to the plate and fix shit. Instead of puttn there hand in the cookie jar like the rest of them taking what "they" want.

That might work, L.O.L. Yeah he does need to go. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he the idiot, that said cash for clunkers would help the economy? He was really stupid in saying that if he was.

Yep it sure is. This has been coming for decades now. I tried to tell people to be prepared and all but they wouldn't listen. My aunt and grandmother are 2 prime examples. They try to argue politics, but neither of them watch the news, go on the web and research a bit etc. My aunt still says russia is a threat, and hell they're worse off than we are. MY uncle always tells her to shut her pie hole, and that the last time he looked Brian Williams didn't ride a horse on stage. It's hilarious more than anything else.

yea sounds like it for sure. sounds my papaw. he dont pay any attention just tells me that i should only vote republican. not gona lie i have voted that way, yet im only 20, but i did major research first. but yea i started noticing it few years ago, then saw it right before the economy tanked in 08. thats what happens when idots rule the country. i disagree with both sides of the polical system. they both suck in my mind. hope something drastic happens lol.

I thought this was common knowledge about the decline of the US dollar being the reason gas was so high. It's also the reason that gold prices are skyrocketing.

okay im getting off my soap box.

While I do agree that the wealthy control a lot of our nations wealth, I disagree that paying less at the pump would help our economy in a way that is even close to sufficient. What needs to happen is that the government needs to reign in their spending on programs that are completely useless! Our economy is in shambles because we continue to fund trillions of dollars to government programs that most people do not want! Most of the people that do want these programs are ones that aren't working and already mooching off of the government, and since this large force of people have the president they so desire in office, they have the loudest voice.

And everyone imports there oil, all the oil in the world goes in to a reserve and each country bids on it, so the oil that is found in the us probably isnt even used in the us, if china would switch to cleaner fuels and didnt have to buy half the the daily supply there would be more making the price for everyone else go down. You also realize that the republicans dont regulate the oil companies and democrats like obama want to pass laws to punish the oil companies for high prices.

We would be able to use US oil if we didn't have EPA regulations against constructing refineries in the states, and if those weren't in place then we could consume our own oil and have cheaper gas (not just gasoline, but natural gas, propane, etc.). And where the hell did you hear that Republicans don't regulate the oil companies?

So the dollar has been declining for years and then in a matter of a few months gas prices shot up.

The reason the dollar has declined so rapidly in the last decade is because the feds are printing money without any sort of backbone, and borrowing money from other countries like China. Those things alone are going to make our currency decline rapidly. Everything going on in the middle east is only an excuse that the liberal media is blasting all over the world. The price of an oil barrel has fluctuated so much in that same decade, yet what about the prices of fuel? Yes, they have had their ups and downs, but look at how slow it comes down and how fast it comes up, and then look at how slow the US currency goes up and how fast it drops.

I live between chilhowie and marion, I use chilhowie because just about all of my bills get paid there and I get my mail there too. I do to. It took us 3 sorry presidents before we got Reagan. We're on the 2nd one but with all kinds of crap going on maybe Donald Trump can help in terms of the economy, because it's clear that Obama aint going to do a damn thing.

Yep. Plus you forgot that the U.S. Mint is printing money that isn't backed by anything, far more than we use toilet paper. Toilet paper is worth more than the dollar is now IMO. It's also a known fact that currency exchange companies have dropped the U.S. Dollar from their lists.

Well I just got raped. I went a little further out of town a bit and instead of $3.65 a gallon (usual town prices as of today), I got it for $3.56 a gallon instead. $65.00 dollars is what was spent. $51.00 to fill up my old Ranger, the rest went into my gasoline cans for my lawn equipment. Where I went today is about 15 minutes north of me and they're usually about $.10 to $.12 cents cheaper than what you'd pay in town.

Ya I got raped yesterday. Im in clinchco VA and it cost me 60 to fill up my little 91 ranger

I almost cried

Little did you know, but SArabia often drops the price at the barrel to encourage the market. But oil companies just take the drop and get more profit out of it.

Brodie_laj · #42 04-18-2011, 12:02 PM

I filled up yesterday and it cost me $85... My dad filled his b4000 the other day and it was $90 Gas was at $1.34 a litre... thats like $5.10 a gallon.... and they say it will keep going up!!

knightmare1015 · #43 04-19-2011, 01:34 AM

That's what's scary. Plus Donald Trump aint getting my vote. He wants to raise the import taxes. In the long term that will force americans to buy american, but show me what's made completely in america. Plus 90% of walmart's products come from china and other overseas countries. If he does that it will ruin what's left of our economy. I vote we do what Reagan did back in the 80's and cut taxes and spending for everyone. That's what he did, and look what happened. We bankrupted Russia's economy without firing a single shot, everyone had jobs, and the cost of living dropped bigtime. If Donald Trump gets into office and does increase import taxes, look out. Short term affects will happen virtually overnight. You won't be able to afford to shop at Walmart and other places like it.

FlyinRyan · #44 04-19-2011, 08:39 PM

A modern day Reagan will save us. But who?

I agree on drilling and new refineries. We need to tell the tree huggers to stfu and we need to drill! ANWAR has a crap load of oil but the treehuggers won't let them drill. We have so much oil that is ours but we can't use it.....

Some day this bull crap gov of ours will come crashing down if somebody doesn't do something to get the gov back to the size it should be. It is just WAY too big.

End rant. lol don't get me started on politics.

knightmare1015 · #45 04-19-2011, 09:25 PM

The tree huggers can jump up and kiss my ass. Ron White was right about 1 thing: "you can't fix stupid". And this has got to be the stupidest, dumb assed government I've ever seen. The primaries start in august and we've only got 1 canidate which I'm not voting for, and one idiot in office trying to re-elected which aint happening, and several other who are still debating wether or not they should run.
