We look at gas prices and wonder, “What the Hell is going on with the price of fuel!!!” I know that I am not alone here. We as a country, as a people has relied on oil for a number of things. The most obvious is fuel for autos and trucks as well as for heating. But with that, oil as a lot of bi-products. Example, plastics, fertilizers, and medicines just to name a few.
Is there a reality of oil independence? Or is that a political issue item? Let us think about it on a Global scale. Have we as a country been protected from high gas prices? Hummmm, let us see.. Here in South Carolina, the average price of gas (regular) is about $3.65. Now you do have the state road and local tax which amounts for about .21 cent in taxes. Oh yes there is ethanol that comprises about 10% of today’s fuel. But wait. That is government subsidized…. (Wonder what government official has a hand in that sweet deal.)
Let’s look at another country. Europe, IE France, The Netherlands, Norway, Japan …. These countries already pay $4 to $6 per gallon for fuel. Their government also taxes the crap out of their fuel per gallon as well. It could be at least for what I am reading so far, about 75% of their additional cost. PER GALLON!!! There is also a bright side to this madness. Those countries also have some of the world’s best public transportation. Is that where their taxes are going? Is that where our country is going? There is a lot to do and lot to think about. What do you think?
NASA’s budget represents approximately 0.2% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product. And we are about to loose all of these jobs because of cuts in this area.
Is the Budget War over? Well it has pass Congress… Now the Senate has to vote on it.. Think about it… If you ran your home like the goverment ran it’s. What would happen… Winning!!! Think NOT!
Layman’s Language 10 Commandments.
Great reading. Must read and try to understand the deep meaning of it. They are like the ten commandments to
follow in life all the time.
1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs
the right path.
2] Why is a Car’s WINDSHIELD so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as
important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move on.
3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn but it takes years to write.
4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong,
don’t worry, they don’t last forever Joy comes in the Morning.
5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to
hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!
6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, it’s just a
bend, not the end!
7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn’t solve your problems,
HE has faith in your abilities.
8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied:
“Yes, losing your vision!”
9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them and when you are safe and happy, remember
someone has prayed for you.
10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.
Is this a “Show Down” or is it to “Prove A Point? After that, Who is to blame? Will you blame the Replublicans or the Democrats then again you do have the Tea Party out there… Before you judge, what are the facts? Could this all be just smoke and mirrors? You know it is all about dollars… Funding…. Big Government…. if the cuts are placed, will they actually happen.
Well now you will see how intrusive the government is in everyday life. When or if it shuts down, you get to see what your money actually pays for…..
What do you think..
