Should we start blaming the crazy house prices? 10 years ago, the prices of houses were 5-10x cheaper too
Get real guys, unless you build a time machine, theres no point in whining for prices you'll never see again.

Its not about whining! I can understand prices going up! they always do but when it happens like there is a rush before the Presidential elections! You gotta think it was a plan!

They forecast demand based on previous years. Just like how they know memorial day will be a heavy traffic weekend so they will probably raise the prices for that weekend because lots of people take trips.
Capitalism at its finest.

Thanks for reminding me on that forecast lol, got a potential grad party going on and for people traveling might be an issue ...

And to add why is also orange juice(my morning wake up $4.99) and cereal (my favorite bedtime snack $5.99) at ridiculous prices???? And how is pizza over $2.50 a slice ... wow...

Mets hmmmm

you know what the problem with this statement and other statements like this.we as humans do not drink 30 gal of water a week.we as a nation depend on oil and gasoline to be a civilized and economic nation.if we donot have a source of energy this country will fall,there will be looting and murders running rampid through the large cities to the smallest towns.everyone is talking about pollution but you know what until they come out with a source of energy that will be planet friendly we will be stuck with fossil fuels.the middle east is taking advantage of the current problem we are having in iraq.they did not want us to go to war so now the american people will pay the price.as for ethanol i say scrap that idea and put more research and competitive prices so we can turn to that type of energy to at least power our homes
wHy peeps compLain about gas, wHen they pay $1.00 for a small bottle of WATER!!!
