I am 39 and I remember that buffoon Jimna Carter. I remember when Gasoline hit $1.00 in 1979 and people thought that it was outrageous. I remember my cousins (6 years older then me) just starting to drive *itching about $1/gallon gas. I also was told by a guy I used to work with who is now 49 years old. That he remembers going up to the corner gas station as a kid with the 1 gallon gas can and a quarter and getting a gallon of gas and a penny left over to buy a piece of gum. That was 1971 I think. We americans can make this country what ever we want. We will elect either a Demoncrap or a Republicrat, It is our choice but too many voters want the government to give them a hand out. And the taxpayers will have to pay for it.
The massive waste of money in the middle east is sickening. Arabs arent worth dying for and *issing away $400 billion rebuilding Iraq aint worth it. Cant we spend that much to rebuild the freeways and bridges here instead?
The oil companies Will make money on our backs but someone needs to come up with new technology like hydrogen fuel, Ethanol, lighter cars.
Inflation is about 5-7% right now but competition in all sectors makes raising prices difficult for any business owner. The car companies (big 3 mostly) cant raise prices much because the foreign makers can steal sales from them. I remember when GM had 45% of the US car and truck market and they were the big man on campus and no other car company could match their sales, Financing or dealer network. Now look at GM, cant make a profit (barely breaking even) at all and the union entitlements are holding the line on big 3 profits. But the USA will have tough times economically for a few years. The banks pushed the interest only loans for homes for a while and now they are paying for it. The credit card companies are also to blame for a slowdown in the economy by charging super high borrowing rates. (just legalized loan sharking)
And the politicans are just as crooked as they have been promising everything to get elected.
And the Mexicans are sucking down our hospitals, schools and food stamps. No politician has the balls to stop it either.
I am done now.
God bless the USA.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
