Folk, you ain''t seen nothing yet!

It''ll be $6 a gallon before the summer is out and $12 a gallon by the time President McCain leaves office!

Why"

The Iraq war is bleeding us $12 billion a month!

To pay for that, the neocons have been printing money.

More US dollars in the world means a weak US dollar.

Under Bush the dollar has declined 40%.

For every dollar you earned, the neocons have stolen 40 cents.

By the time President McCain leaves office, it would be worth only 30 cents what it was in 2000.

The neocons have ravaged the country, and it looks like four more years of the same.

As President Reagan said, "You ain''t seen nothin'' yet!"

If 4$ gallon is leading to conservation let it go up to 8 gallons. Conservation is the way to go, not increasing supply.

So 8 gallons for $4? That''s $2 a gallon so sounds good to me.

zoe2006: You said

Bush and Cheney just returned from Saudi Arabia and failed to increase oil production

You needed to say that Bush and Cheney have failed this country in so many countless ways and are complete Douschbags. January 20th is Cocktail Day and good ridance to all the Douschbag Bushies.

Since oil is around $138 now that will be quite the decrease.

Stopping speculators is the best way to stop the run-up on gas prices. Two exchanges are used to trade oil futures: the NYMEX and ICE. The ICE is unregulated and this is where most of the oil futures are now traded. A loophole in the law called the "Enron Loophole" (ironically) helped to pave the way for unmonitored futures exchange trading of oil.

If the CTFC got of it''s (_)_) and did its job, speculators would not be able to bid the price to $5.00 oil, which is where we may be in one month if this keeps going.

Oh, and GOPSoccermom is my *** goddess...

The higher the better. The roads get clearer every day and the lake has hardly any water craft on it. No crowds. It''s worth every penny.

While the rest of the industrialized world is (and have been for a very long time) paying over $5 per gallon of gas, Americans whine about their prices.

Yes they are a lot higher than what we are used to paying, and yes it is raising the prices of everything else to rediculous hights. I am sure that gas will be above $5 in the U.S. before Labor Day and home heating oil will top that this winter.

Anyone who didn''t know that this day was comming is a blind fool.
