Lucky for you O actually help your gas market (Libya war & our oil reserves), is that as fucked up as it sounds from here?That's the cost of swinging left.
Over here unleaded petrol (gasoline) is €1.60 ($1.95ish) a LITRE (a gallon is approx 4.6 litres) with approx €1.25 of that going to the Government.
Iv been trying to warn you.

Not a problem brother
How are the electricity prices over there. On top of hating fossil fuels, Obama is doing everything he can to raise the cost of electricity in the states. Hey, do they have solar powered cars there yet? LOL

Gasoline prices are almost back to "normal". It was in the middle of 2008 when prices peaked at over 5 bucks a gallon. Then of course with the financial crisis and housing market meltdown caused the economy to tank. A quick reminder that that all happened before President Obama was inaugurated. Down went the economy and so did gas prices. Of course that's typical economics. A very interesting chart I saw a while back overlapped economical figures and gas prices. They shadowed each other of course. So now conservatives love to point out that gas was $1.80ish when President Obama took office and now they are close to $5.00. But like I said, they are almost back to normal, further proof that the economy is improving. I lover how people think it is the administrations policies that are causing the spike. People seem to forget very quickly, especially regarding gas prices, what normal is. As a matter of fact, people are quick to forget every time in my anecdotal experience, and it's also reflected in consumer demand.

California's combined federal, state, and local gasoline tax is among the highest in the United States at 67 cents per gallon.
Were they always that high? Nope.. Yet, Government is going to blame it on supply and demand when it gets 13% or more on a gallon of gas. The government is BY far the biggest winner when gas prices rise.

I'm sure, no positive, they were that high.. No higher.. I have to run, but will be back soon. Go ahead and check summer-ish of 2008 and before. Ill check when I get back. But the reasons for gas taxes are numerous. More gas sold = more driving... More driving = more roads or road maintenance... Also, the more gas sold, the more pollution. Pollution is an externality(sp.?) of the transaction of selling a gallon of gas. Oil companies pay for royalties for "the people's oil" (Thats another can of worms, anyways...). They then drill and refine, ect. Those costs as well as administrative costs go into a gallon of gas. We then pay that price, along with a profit of course that goes to the oil company. But when the gas is burned and creates greenhouse gases that harm the environment or if a oil spills while drilling- there are costs in cleaning that up. Those are externalities - a cost of the transaction of buying gas that the oil companies and the people produce, but aren't paying for. Well until the gas taxes come in. That among the other reasons are why we have gas taxes. Now do you want to pay for that? or should the oil companies? I agree we should pay for burning it, but what about oil spills? Why do we pay for it? And the pollution from refineries.. That's their end of the transaction. Not ours. But we pay.
Let me know what you think.
I'd imagine you don't think this administration, if left unchecked wouldn't make electricity bills spike either?
Keep drinking that sheeple koolaide!

California is God's best moment," says Joel Kotkin. "It's the best place in the world to live." Or at least it used to be.
Mr. Kotkin, one of the nation's premier demographers, left his native New York City in 1971 to enroll at the University of California, Berkeley. The state was a far-out paradise for hipsters who had grown up listening to the Mamas & the Papas' iconic "California Dreamin'" and the Beach Boys' "California Girls." But it also attracted young, ambitious people "who had a lot of dreams, wanted to build big companies." Think Intel, Apple and Hewlett-Packard. Now, however, the Golden State's fastest-growing entity is government and its biggest product is red tape. The first thing that comes to many American minds when you mention California isn't Hollywood or tanned girls on a beach, but Greece. Many progressives in California take that as a compliment since Greeks are ostensibly happier.
Nearly four million more people have left the Golden State in the last two decades than have come from other states. This is a sharp reversal from the 1980s, when 100,000 more Americans were settling in California each year than were leaving.

your fixation on americans, and peole from this or other states is quite telling. you believe (in a racist fashion) that people from meheeco, the people of the sun,, who are moving within their own historical borders do not count!
i you want to build a 50 foot concrete and barbed wire wall to keep those evil mexicans out of your sacred white america, because your racist. thats why you also want to mine the border with mexico!
you also ignore the border with canadioa because they are also lilly white and christian so you are DOUBLE RACIST!!!
youre not only racially EXclusionary, but your also racially INclusionary!! im not sure which is worse! so both are worse, you wicked evil greedy capitalist pigdog !
