Gas Station Rip-Off

There is little question that oil prices have been unstable and today they hit their highest futures cost since September 2009, $106.64. This is for oil deliveries in April. Isn't it amazing that what will cost more to purchase then refine in April is costing you and I more today? According to the Connecticut State Attorney's Office, gas stations are allowed to charge per gallon what ever they feel the market will pay! WOW. So they blame the unrest in the Middle East, specifically Lybia. By the way, only 2% of all imported crude into the United States comes from Lybia.

According to the Oil Price Information Service the new national average for regular unleaded gasoline $3.471 per gallon. Where? Sign me up! And what about Diesel? According to the State of Connecticut OLR Research Report in a study conducted by Daniel Duffy; January 1995 gas - $1.23 vs. diesel $1.10 per gallon. July 2001 gas - $1.68 vs. diesel $1.52. July 2006 - gas $3.15 vs. diesel $2.93 per gallon. Today diesel is an avergae of 12% more per gallon, no wonder bananas are now $0.89 per pound!

Working in India

With all the talk about losing jobs to India, mostly customer and technical support, I am not sure why anyone would want to be a supervisor or boss in India.

Over the past several months it has become a very common occurance

for unhappy employees, laid off workers and local work group managers

to actually physicaly attack and kill their bosses.

If I were a director or manager of an American company I would begin

implementing immediate plans to bring those jobs back to America!

This is truely not a country to be sending American jobs to.

No English You Say?

No wonder no one speaks English in the United State of America any more.


Most of the country is actually owned by others and not us!

Here are the top TEN Share-holders if you wish;

those who we owe gold debt to-

1- Mainland China - $891.6 Billion

2 - Japan - $883.6 Billion

3 - United Kingdom - $541.3 Billion

4 - Oil Exporters - $218 Billion

5 - Brazil - $180.8 Billion

6 - Caribbean Banking Centers - $155.6 Billion

7 - Hong Kong - $138.2 Billion

8 - Canada - $134.6 Billion

9 - Taiwan - $131.9 Billion

10 - Russia - $106.2 Billion

Now if you or I had outstanding balances in some Caribbean bank the IRS would have us in jail. If Canada wanted to collect on it's holdings the economic value equals the states of Main, Vermont and New Hampshire. Brazil? Ouch.... how much a year do we send them in economic aid? And China holds 20% of our national debt? That is equal to the Rocky Mountains all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Just to pay off that debt, every single American would have to pay $2,970.00!
