Gas prices are so way out of control. Please Please Please help. I had to start a 2nd job 3 years ago to try and counter-act the way the prices generally were rising. now the gas cost is making me think about quitting that second job because I CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE THERE. It now costs me $50 to fill a 10-gallon tank. This is robbery.
Is there a way to impose limits on oil speculators like Sherrod Brown says? Please do so. SOON!
The way I see it, someone's making a whole bunch of money when they haven't earned it. This false inflation is inflating the prices of everything else. That inflation causes the COLA increase in our state's minimum wage. The increase in the minimum wage makes my pay check worth less.
I haven't had a pay increase in 4 years. We're drowning here. Can someone throw us a lifeline? There's no reason a gallon of gas should be over $2.
