I don't know why people are so shocked and dismayed by gas prices goi g up
We still have some of the cheapest gas in the west. The prices could double and we would still be on the lower end of prices compared to most places in the west. Its hard to imagine that would be the deciding factor in upcoming elections. Some will talk about it but those people were never have voted for a Dem anyway. I drive A Honda Civic and now that Im retired I probably fill up once every 2 weeks or so. Im sure that those people who drive a lot will feel some pain. Im not sorry for those folks who have giant pickups or SUVs. But really, if youve bought one of those the increased gas prices pale by your monthly payments.
Maybe this will influence some freedummers to downsize, but I doubt it. Of course theyll bitch and no doubt some are stupid enough to cast their votes against those who they blame (Dems and Libs). So far the increased costs havent really been all that severe. The media, especially Faux news, are frothing at the mouth, trying to make it a big issue. But it seems to me that gas priced were even higher about 10 years ago for awhile. Americas addiction to gasoline really needs to be changed.
