Sniffing The $4.00 A Gallon Gas Fumes at What The Jorge?

The latest excuse for gas prices going up is because of Hurricane Ike. According to The Desert Sun, the hurricane “caused a near total shutdown in crude production in the Gulf of Mexico, triggering gasoline shortages and dramatically higher prices at the pump in parts of the South and Midwest.”

The presidential candidates, McCain and Obama can say all they are going to do to drop gas prices, but let’s face it, we were told a while ago that there was going to be “no more taxes” so I’m sure we are not smart enough to fall for the same trick twice over. They can all eat my giant taco!

These supposed hard economic times calls for people to budget themselves. I’ve read how a lot of people are seeking help by joining credit counseling agencies to colsolidate debt.

There’s a million and one ways to do that; debt management, debt settlement, credit counseling, debt consolidation loans and mortgage refinancing. Depending on your credit score, it might determine which avenue you go down. If your broke as hell like me, consolidation loans are out of the question. I think the computer laughed at me when I tried to apply for a debt consolidation loan.

Saving money is so important now, I think, more than ever. Mainly because whomever becomes president, who knows that they are going to do? With a new President coming into the office and the economy going down the toilet all at the same time do you think it’s just the perfect recipe for disaster?

Or maybe it’s just me sniffing the $4.00 a gallon gas fumes!
