economic headache.

hello again,
  here we are coming up on summer time and school is coming to the end with people going on vacation..now here we go again with the price of GAS going to 4.00 @Gal.  now why would it be so high ?  out west they are cleaning up and trying to rebuild people's lives.  it seems to me with everything that is happening that the price of fuel would stay at a low rate or go down,  BUT NO it has to go up !!  the cost of living is still not where it should be..jobs are still not the best..the economy is still fragile as eggs,  and our troops are still being sent overseas for whatever reason..some are coming home..(GOD BLESS THESE FOLKS)!!  I don't know about all of you out there but I can't keep paying high prices for fuel.  if I have to keep paying 50.00 to 60.00 a week just for gas ...well think about it!
this is about medicine, food, mortgage.
it all adds up and you have to start choosing of what is needed and what is not!! now mind you it can also be heating fuel or whatever requires you need.  but you have to look at what you have and what it will take to survive and it is not looking good for the consumer..but big business is getting the wealth and we are paying for it..I don't know what else to say about it..each of us has a right to ask our REPS. from our state the reasons for this..that is if you get the truth !! I for one deserve to know why!! 
talk about a headache when you have to save money for fuel.. instead of the table or a roof over your head..damn tired of it!!
