High Gas Prices and Factual Duality*

,

Its about 3:45 on Monday morning and I am glad to be up. Bad night and bad day, great Nascar race this new boy (Carl Edward's) is the real deal what a great finish only inches between 1st and 2nd, 2nd is a rookie, 1st is the hottest (class) driver this year Johnson, coming to the finish line at 184 MPH 2nd is gaining, 1st slides up the track to block, 2nd finds room and charges forward, the touch venders, tire smoke and they both wiggle, 1st floors it, 2nd floors it, the finish line is in site, 270 feet per second, closer, they both see the finish line, bouncing off of each other, 540 feet to go, 270 feet to go, wait he is inching in front, Edward's Wins!!!

I was exhausted

All right, down to business, high gas prices. We do not have high gas prices in comparison to the rest of the world. I would call the jump only expected and necessary to protect the American people from additional international hate, richest nation on earth, and lowest energy prices.

Take a minute and think back to 1970 I was making $140 per week as a department mgr. and spent 58 cents for a gallon of gas. 20 gallon fuel tank $0.58x20gal = $11.60 or 8.28 % for energy cost per week. Today's dept. mgr. makes $567.30 per week. I filled my car Saturday at $2.06 per gallon 2.06x20gal=$41.21 or 7.2% energy cost per week. I/E your paying less for gas than you were 35 years ago. HumBug

Parity and Other Myths.

Agriculture has been preaching parity for as long as I can remember. Parity means (Equality of prices of goods or securities in two different markets) Global marketing does not allow for parity or what a product should cost based on the ability to pay.

 

*result of the belief there must be an opposite of something, good, bad etc
