[JITB]

im buying a 85 goldwing

[blacknightteg]

i wonder if the value of our dollar will ever go back up, or if our country is just goin to go bankrupt one day lol

[blaknoize]

Cuz bush is leavin office and getting ALL he can. But I drive a ****ty EF so I could care less bout gas bitches. It still costs less than 35 to fill up

[Papa_Smurf]

still, $35 to fill up our EF's is getting to be too much.

for people who have minimum wage paying jobs, the price of gas is already a burden.

[MistaCee]

Yes this is getting bad. They need to do something about cash. My pops a truck driver and has his own authority, the prices for loads are not going up but the gas is...

[The Ninja]

Having just picked up a gas-sucking V8, a cruiser seems to be in order.

You're just rackin up the redneck points aren't you?

[gijeff1805]

well apparently sometime this year the govt is sending everyone a $600 dollar check to go spend on things to help boost the economy or something or another

[Papa_Smurf]

^ thats like 2 months worth of gas...lolol

[collins]

i wonder if we can go hit up honda for a group buy on their little "next generation crx"?

[4dmin]

i wonder if we can do a group buy on gas... hmmmm maybe we could start a giant group buy on gas like buy 20$ get 5$ free...

[JConner]

and we could solve all of this if the democrats that get money from the Sauid's would allow us to drill for oil in ANWR!!!!!!! The elderly liberal Floridians are so concerned that they might possibly see an oil rig out of their window....which isn't even possible because the Earth is ROUND!

This country is ****ed until Citizens elect politicians that don't have ties to big business. Corporations and the elitist run this country and I really hope that ppl will eventually see this. I think there should be a cap on campaign spending, and candidates should only be allowed to debate on live television and not be allowed to have commercials/ internet ads.

I know I am a dreamer, this will never happen

You need to join the debate over in the Wallstreet forum. You are one of those people that think "big business" is sooooo evil and bad for america?

No, there should not be a cap on campaign spending.....the candidates have worked hard for that money and should be allowed to spend whatever money they want to. People should not be punished for being RICH! The rich get richer because they keep doing what made them rich. The poor get poorer because they keep doing what made them poor (NOTHING!)

This is the reason why this country will never again see a decent president. Work hard??? Candidates mostly get their money donated to their campaign by special interest groups, Corporations and by regular citizens. Some candidates spend a lot of their own money like Romney. The presidential race is basically what politician slept with what and how many special interest groups/ Corporations to get the funding to have all those tv ads/ publicity . I don't give a fu.ck about who is rich or who is poor, but when candidates have to payback those special interest groups and corporations with favors once he or she is elected, this is why are country has so many damn problems

its 109.75 in asia


i love how everyone in this thread thinks they have the answers, yet no one in this thread works in the oil industry or stock market....

[nightracer]

no...just greed

There is no ****ing reason on earth for oil prices to be this high other than gluttony, treason and fascist inspired greed. No Republican or PetroComp rhetoric can explain oil prices jumping $2 and $3 a day when absolutely nothing is happening. I'm sick of this bull**** lets get somebody with more than 12 brain cells in office. I do not want someone who walks on their IQ score representing me in the white house, to the UN or for the Petro Companies to Opec.

[Brett]

Uh, yes it did. I've been 3 times. In 2002 (first time I went), you were considered wealthy if you're family had a car. 1 car to share!. I just got back again in feburary, and everyone in my fiances parents neighborhood now has a car. In 2002 there might of been 10 cars in the whole neighborhood. There used to be almost no middle class. Now it's exploded, and their middle class is growing like crazy. I can't believe how much it's changed in the past few yrs.

To make matters worse India is almost growing at the same rate.

Here's an article for further proof. Written in Canada in case you think the US government is bull****ing us.

I am not getting a check cause I am still claimed by my parents. I wouldn't spend the money anyways, i'd just throw it in one of my savings accounts.

as long as you pay and file for tax's your goin to get a check i think. i am still livin with parents and claimed but have a job and make my own money. Im not gettin a lot, just like 300 dollars

[gijeff1805]

well i do own my own business and pay taxes....but i think you have to make X amount to qualify...which being in college has not allowed me to really make **** for the year.

[Doppelgänger]

If someone pays me enough, i'll take out Bush...even if it's by the time he is out of office.... he deserves it either way.

Wrong. If you are claimed as someone else's dependent, you will not be recieving a stimulus check.

As found from:irs.gov

Q: I know some people won’t get a stimulus payment. How do I know if I’m one of them?

A: You won’t get a stimulus payment in 2008, if any of the following apply to you:

• You don’t file a 2007 tax return.
• Your net income tax liability is zero and your qualifying income is less than $3,000. To determine your qualifying income, add together your wages, net self-employment income, nontaxable combat pay, Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits and certain veterans’ payments.
• You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
• You do not have a valid Social Security Number.
• You are a nonresident alien.
• You file Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040PR or Form 1040SS for 2007.

Some people who are supposed to compete in 5 months in the Olympics there are refusing to go due to they fear the pollution when doing thier races, etc.

China is suggesting the wear masks all the way up to the event, do thier thing then put it back on, Thats how bad they know thier air is

[civic95]

I will tell you this, the snow was black instead of white 2 days after it fell.

GREED?????? It is basic economics! They have a product and we have a demand for that product so the oil companies can raise the price to whatever they want and we will still pay for it. I don't blame them for making a profit, thats business.

[Doppelgänger]

that's a very ignorant statement.

... for a very ignorant forum.






















lol

Neither did American cars back in the day when they had HIGH performance motors, doing exactly what a growing country does until it realizes what it is doing and matures. DUH.
