Well, close enough!

It seems the $4.00 a gallon has reached us. We had a $.23 jump from yesterday...why? Who knows, but I know it's ridiculous. It's now $3.95 and expected to hit even higher by tomorrow! OY!!!!!!!!!! The middle class is slowly dying off:tsk

[Heartstorm]

Yeah, the middle class is on the way to the bottom !!! I do wonder how much longer the everyday person will be able to hang on ?? Esp the ones with the big SUV's and trucks ?? I have a old truck that is a gas guzzler but I only use it to haul hay and the other day I have to put gas in it. That shot the hay budget by the time you add in gas for the truck :tsk Happy that my everyday car is small and gets 30 miles to the gallon. No way I could afford to drive a truck to work. It has got to be hurting alot of people that need a big car or truck.

We only have 1 vehicle and I stay home and work from here. So we only fill up once every 10 days or so. But I totally agree with you on the big cars. How does that verse go? A day's wages ....It's terrible that I cannot remember how it goes. I'll have to look it up!

I don't know how much more of this the American people will take. I sense a revolt on the horizon. :ohno

Revelation 6:6
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Meaning that our daily bread will cost a day`s wages.

Well, I was very excited this morning to see that gas went down from $3.99 yesterday, to $3.98 today.

Thought it was kind of weird, but I'm not complaining.

A revolt may be what it takes.

I don't think Americans have it in them to come together in an organized manner. This culture of individualism, apathy, and fear of loss doesn't produce the type of people needed for a revolt.

We see clips of huge worker rallies in europe, giant riots in asia etc. Whens the last time a large portion of our population gathered in the streets to protest? Sure there is localized special interest stuff but nothing that really has told the government "enough is enough"

[DaisyLane]

Sadly, FarmBoy, you're probably right. It's a whole lot easier to whine and complain than to get off our butts and take a stand.:ohno

I agree.
