Here in Cheyenne, gas is up to $3.55. It's higher than that in most parts of the country, I think.
I'd intended to do a lot of travelling this summer...just through the state of Wyoming...but I sure can't afford that if the gas gets much higher. I have a car that gets about 30 miles to the gllon, but still...
How many tourist businesses are going to go out of business because people simply can't afford to go to them anymore?
Yesterday, Glenn Beck was not on his program, but the guy filling in for him did a segment about it. In Bush's years, there were quite a few stories about moms (usually single moms) who couldn't afford to buy their kids food because they had to buy gas for their car...
Now that Obama is getting his desire and gas prices are going up...where are the news articles about folks having to give up their cars and go to buses, or having to forego food in order to buy gas.
I don't think I've seen a single one by the mainstream media...
