The Personal Price of Gas

http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/ inflation-and-deflation-3/ 2008/ 05/ 16/The markets didn’t reveal anything very telling yesterday. The Dow rose 52 points. The dollar held steady. Oil remained near its all time record of $123. And gold went up $10. So far, things have worked out more or less as we expected.

PRESIDENT BUSH'S HIDDEN TAX
http://markmartinezshow.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ president-bushs-hidden-tax.htmlThe Bush administration is taxing the hell out of America.

Whenever you create or produce too much of anything its value goes down.
