It’s funny how the MSM screams from the top of the mountain when gas prices are falling, but sounds of silence when they soar by 30% in three months. What are you doing with all those gas savings?
HOW COME THE MSM HASN’T BEEN REPORTING THE 30% INCREASE IN GAS PRICES SINCE FEBRUARY?
Here’s a great sidebar: “How come the BLS isn’t reporting all the lost jobs from the oil industry”.
And speaking of gas price increases, yesterday I paid $3.45 at a Chevron; some stations are already at $3.79 here in Socal.
Let’s see $2500 toward tuition’s, $2000 for the quarterly property tax bill, mortgage. Oh and did I mention my health insurance went up 10%, but that’s okay because my deductibles went up too. Good thing number one son is graduating next week so I can shower him with all of my extra gas money. Looks like I will have to find something cheaper than Natty Ice to drink.
Bob.
What the hell is ‘Natty Ice’?
Tommy,
Very cheap strong beer from A-B. Not as strong as Natty Daddy.

Of course when I worked on the Cape there was a package store where you could get a 24 oz can of Steel Reserve for a dollar, but that was a few years ago.
Bob.
Walmart cat food. 16 lb. bag of kaboodle brand just went from 9.98 to 10.98. Friskies large cans just went from .94 to 1.08. That falls within the CPI 2-3% inflation, right? I’m no good at maff.
You could get a forty of the Steel for $2.00, now that was a bargain and a buzz in a bottle.
Bob.
Star,
It might be time to eat the cat.

It’s the MSM propaganda filter stupid (no offense). You know, Conservatives can do no good and the Republican’s economy mostly goes down but the Leftist can do no wrong and their economy soars like eagles.
As always the price drops slowly,But given the slightest excuse,It rises really fast.
Robert, I think you are equating conservative and Republican. They are not the same thing. It doesn’t really make much difference because most of the people we hear about on MSM and Faux News are just actors in the bullshit theater we are watching. Damn I’ve gotten even more cynical.
Overthecliff- You are not cynical, you are free of the spell cast on most of the population. Those actors on Faux and CuNNt news won’t point out, “Hey, are you felling a little butthurt from the oil companies latest raping of the American consumers?”
Their job is to follow the script to the letter, war is peace etc. and 2% inflation no matter how high the cost of gas/food/utilities.
Starfcker, I can’t stop laughing. +100
Bea, my ass feels like Stuckey has been having his way with me with no lube.
OTC- That is what I generally refer to as TMI. With that said, I believe that you have only begun to feel the butthurt from oil prices. Stucky is a whole other ballgame.
