You show me where I can get a gallon of gas for $1.88, a house for $273K, or a movie ticket for $6.00 and I will be doing kartwheels and grinning like a jackass. Is the rest of the country that much cheaper??
The bottom line is that a gallon of gas or diesel has almost doubled at the pump in the last two years. That's not healthy right now, I don't care how many kooky/deceptive charts and graphs the oil company and Bush apologists drag out. Are they pounding home the whole "oil is actually cheap/historically speaking" hooey on Fox News these days? I haven't been watching.
