Yeah i know! We will get a few bucks spend it on bills or good times and then next year have to pay tax on it as received income! cant beat that!

It so funny how at first everyone was crazed over the increase of gas prices then all of a sudden accepted it ! Even though there is ample supply and our own companies cant explain it and no one asks.

Man that think tank in washington sure knows Americans!

Don't forget to spend that money or else it wont jump start the economy back up basic economics people I smell a calcium reactor in the near future for me WOOT WOOT. Its my responsibility to do my part in getting the economy going again.

I'm not sure which news you're watching.
We sponsor issues if and only if it serves our own interest
Man other countries pay a lot more for gas then us.
And we're paying our OWN farmers not to farm, which is because we don't want the price of food to go down too low.

anyOne seLLing anything here

Mings right most of the world pays $7-$8 US for gas. I just think that the $600 stimulus checks are %$#@*&! ridiculous. $600 aint going to do jack for the economy especially since everyone will save it or pay off bills with it.

Issues that serve our own interest like Iraq??? Boy that was in our interest!
How About all those humanitarian funds that go to countries that no longer need them and hate us??
Remember the Euro that is now breaking down the dollar created by our good friends who asked us to stop growing food and buy theirs.
You are absolutly right we pay or own farmers not to grow food! So what should we do now that food prices are going up??
Just a friendly thought!

First off let me state that the following rant comes from a former soldier and very patriotic citizen!

America(not just Americans) has become an overweight giant that has grown too big and too lazy to feed itself. We now rely on the rest of the world to serve us bring us food bring us our goods.{think of an 800lb man naked laying in bed with his poor mother feeding him 30000 calories a day} Our free lifestyle and commercial way of thinking has lead to this. NAFTA and all other free trade agreements have been made to benefit big business not the american people at large. Do you see anything coming into this country that is beneficial other than cheap made unregulated crap products...NO. All you see of the Free Trade Agreements are American middle class jobs flying out of the country at breakneck speed. Unfortunately the capitolism that built the USA will also be what unstrings it. Its bad for us now imagine the burden our children and grandchildren will have to bear. Thank god for the almighty dollar!
