Even if our gas was $.40/gallon, the taxes would run it up over $2.00!

Funny, I make decent money in Saudi Arabia. Gas here is about 40 CENTS a gallon!

And here it is. As I posted on another thread, I just heard reported that some in Florida are charging $5.89/gal. Insanity!

  How in the world is Obama starting to do so well with 12 to 15% real unemployment and $6 a gallon gas? Do we have that many government-addicted lemmings in this country?!
