My neighbor told me yesterday it is getting too expensive for her to work. $40 each day for gas. Updated at 2:53 PM
First of all...before those that will chime and say move...she can't.
We live in a dying community. Schools are dying. Jobs are headed out faster than you can count. Businesses are shutting down. BUT, housing is cheap. You can afford your house payments. It is Texas, so very few can afford their utility bills, but...this lady can afford to live here.
Until now. Jobs are gone. She has had to go to work 2 hours a day one-way. She drives an economical vehicle.
She told me yesterday if it hits much higher, she won't be able to afford to go to work.
She is fairly apolitical...but she doesn't fall for the social scams that the republicans throw out there.
She doesn't care about gay marriage.
She doesn't care about abortion.
She cares that she can't afford to put gas in her car and go to work.
She cares that the schools are left unfunded this year and asks like many that I have heard in the last few weeks..."Where's the lottery money?" Where, indeed. It would be interesting to watch this story actually be covered because it was largely ignored when it happened.

She cares that her health insurance skyrocketed and is basically useless because of high copays.
She cares because ONE MORE small business closed its doors around here a couple of weeks ago and now those people have no jobs.
She cares because there isn't ANYONE doing anything about what affects us all the most.
I'd like to think she is in the majority...but then I met a lady at the gas pumps the other day. Blaming all of this on the Democrats. Too stupid to open her eyes and realize that she demonized me when...when it all comes down to it...I'm on her side.
But her masters have taught her to hate me...and that is what she will do. Because even in their evilness they realize, that they cannot carry out THEIR agenda unless neighbors hate neighbors.

Now why would anyone blame the democrats for high gas prices?
It's not like Obama is opposed to drilling..... oh wait.
Ok it's not like Obama doesn't have a plan to lower gas prices... oh wait his plan is to trade in your car for a Chevy volt.
If Bush was in office ,horse with no brains would be screaming at the top of her lungs "It's Bush's fault!!!!!!".

3. So...this is HER fault? Updated at 2:53 PM
My fault?
I live here too and I voted against this shit...but I didn't win so it means I am stuck living with this shit.
Perry isn't going to do squat. He WANTS people to suffer so he can blame it on the Democrats.

Oh my.
Actually, given the sort of person the unappellated eohippus, the High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives, is, even a nice guy like franksolich takes much joy in her wretchedness and misery.
Other than the Die alte Sau and the skumbag primitive, no one deserves it more than the unappellated eohippus.
Joy, joy, joy. Happy, happy, happy, Ha, ha, ha.

Horse with no Brain lives in a dusty, crappy trailer park in Texas. Her neighbors live in the same dusty, crappy trailer park. If her DUmbass neighbor has to take a job two hours away (which in Texas means at least 150 miles), she needs to find someone in the dusty, crappy trailer park who owns a truck, and get them to drag her trailer 150 miles to a different dusty, crappy trailer park. She would solve her gasoline problem, and get rid of Horse with no Brain as a neighbor. Win-win.

I drive 140 miles a day (two 70 miles round trips a day) -- fill up the tank every third day. I do know people who commute two hours each way to/from work, but they are professionals, so the commute is worth the paycheck (and no one wants to live in Boston).

To quote the universe's mostest smarterest president in history, "Maybe it's time to think about a trade in."

This can't be true. We have a Democratic president and a Democratic Senate...no way there are people in this country that are having trouble finding/keeping/getting to jobs. We've borrowed trillions of dollars to make sure this couldn't happen!

Or she could inflate her tires and get a tune up.
Don't worry though Holder and da boys are making sure there aint no price gouging.

It must be the GOP house that is the problem. If only the dems had all 3 houses....oh wait we had this same problem when they did.
