Well not only has gas gone up, taxes have increased, homeowners insurance has increased, corn prices are through the roof, killing gas mileages and costing us an average of 26% on miles to the gallon, electricity is gonna rise, and you are going to have 11 million new neighbors draining more on the system. how's that HOPE and CHANGE working out for yaw? (and on a side note, when this man was running for office first go around he said publically he had no problem with 7 to 8 dollar a gallon gas, so this should come as no surprise to anyone.)
