gas prices

New York has now joined five other states, we are now paying $4 dollars a gallon for unleaded gasoline.  Many are not happy about it - when are we going to stop complaining and have our congress or government put a stop to all this?

Every time there is an increase in the cost of gasoline my inbox and Facebook become flooded with people inviting me to boycott buying gas on a certain day. Most people do this based on an emotional reaction and rarely think if it’ll actually have an impact, let alone a negative one.

The White House is considering tapping our oil reserves here at home to help pull down the rising cost of gas.  The last time our oil reserves were used were in 2008.  Of course Republicans are opposing this idea, while Democrats are supporting it.
