I so agree with you. I just got a letter in the mail today that my insurance payments are going up starting next month and that the premiums are going up. So basically I'm going to have to pay more out of pocket everytime I go to the doctor and PLUS I'm going to have to pay more out of each paycheck just to keep the insurance. If I didn't need it so bad, I would have called and gave them a piece of my mind. Love,  |

To tell you personally what I think and its this. It seem to me that shortly after the fires overseas that destroyed so much of the oil. "I mean bush did go to free the people and not worry about the oil right? right!" BUT shortly after that, OH NO suddenly LIGHTS out, lots of speculations and run arounds looking for the exact cause. YEP they will get it one way or another. I remember back in 72 or 73? One day the gas was 31 cents a gallon, the NEXT day, it was double that, plus ya had to wait in lines to get gas. They do this every so often just to justify raising the cost. NOW if they are going to raise the cost of everything so sky high, then the president should make MIN wage a lot higher than it is and enforce it. NO more of these piddly little laws that say , well if your working as a waitress in such and such population you only get what they give you, which is usually starting out at 2.15 an hour. The same with motels, if you live in a small populated area they can get by with only paying you 2.25 a room. I believe that ALL people should be paid MIN wage reguardless of where they live or the job they are doing. Ok, my rant is over.  |

I could be wrong, but I believe the oil fields in Iraq were secured before anything else. Hmmm.... I could be wrong, don't think so, though. Is anyone familar with "the Carlyle Group", do the name Haliburton, Bechtel, Cheney mean anything. Actually I smell a corporate feast.  |

hmm, well our gas was down to say 1.50, then within a couple of weeks it went up to 1.79. I have no idea what the heck that is all about. But where I live in the US Connecticut is the highest priced highest taxed well, its in the top 3 anyway, they had a new ciggarette tax the beginning of the year sending most ciggy prices to $5, I was told with that new tax we are the highest now. Although I do love the benefits, they do give back the money for this and that program. Like husky medical which is great. But governor Rowland, been for about 10 years now I will bet any amount of money will not get elected again. He cut school funding, cut alot of after school programs, laid off over 100,000 people, and waived early retirement in the sates workers faces to basically force many people to retire, I heard about 200k took the offer, they even offered it to people who hadn't worked long enough to get it otherwise. But then he got busted for using state money on numerous occasions for vacations, and for bringing him and his family and buddies out to a yankees game, they made him pay it all back too! lol Thats what u get. I highly doubt he will get reelected......  |
