The discussion on Glenn Beck today was concerned with costs of gasoline - going up to $4, $5 and even $6 and beyond. And all that extra money will go right back to the pockets in the Middle East!

Our cousins across the big pond already pay that, and more, for their fuel, Jay. Can you imagine what they'll pay if we're paying what you mentioned? -
What I don't understand is why did the SpecOps forces wait so long to board the pirated vessel? I've been reading for almost a week that a US warship (which I'm sure was carrying the SEALS) had been trailing the yacht.
Possibly they could have saved the hostages if they had assaulted the yacht earlier.
The word on the news today was that they had to wait until Obama gave the OK! -

Speculation from various financial gurus included the thought that if gas reaches $5 here, it will cause a massive recession. -

That only makes sense......If they would get it off the market it would have no reason to go up just because a camel farts half way across the world. -
What makes me mad is that when a barrel of oil goes up the price at the pump goes up immediately. That oil purchased at the higher price will not reach the refineries at the earliest over several weeks and more likely a few months. But the oil companies hike the price as if the higher-priced oil is here now!

When I have to cope with those prices, Keith, I'll get a horse or a bicycle.
I can remember times in the late Forties and most of the Fifties when gasoline in the US was no more than 15 or 20 cents a gallon. -
I paid 29 cents a gallon in '69, and then it got bumped all the way up to 49 cents around '74 and I thought THAT was outragious!

That was like cigarettes for me. I smoked a pack a day until 1971 when smokes cost 35 cents a pack. That's when I stopped smoking (cold turkey) to save $30 a month. I never figured that cigarettes would cost what they do today! -
Guess I'll have to find a liquor store that delivers.
We deal in lead, friend.
