Fuel/Gas Prices

[Bob Penn]

Hey good news from Russia this morning. There's rioting in the streets due to lay-offs of governmental workers because the government can't afford to pay them thanks to the falling oil prices.
I wonder how long they will be able to afford the bombing in Syria especially considering their friends in Iraq will soon be dumping more oil into the all ready flooded market.
I wonder how the people of the Ukraine feel about all this. Paybacks are a bitch you know!

Hmmm sounds like the plan might be working.

Now what really worries me is weather the price of Vodka will go up for us, or down; down, due to naturally, increasing the exports of the product to off set the oil sales loses. Or will they go up due to a lack of product thanks to the increase demand in homeland consumption.

One can only hope

IL has the highest fuel taxes in the nation but it doesn't help our roads, our politicians steal it all. Our last 2 governors were in prison at the same time but final one of them got out. Our last one is in his 2nd year of an 14 year sentence

Indiana is worse, they are now talking about passing a wheel tax. Right now I have 18 wheels in my garage and may have to think about selling a vehicle or two if this crappy law passes.

Illinois and Indiana's gas taxes are peanuts compared to the PRK. Last year when gas prices were dropping, the PRK added another 40 cent/gal tax to keep the prices up and those extra taxes don't go to road maintenance. The PRK will not allow gas produced from other states to be sold here which further keeps the prices high. Average price in LA is still over $3/gal with some places charging close to $4/gal.

The PRK has been pushing energy efficient vehicles, reported gas sales have lowered (probably because people can not afford the fuel) and they are claiming a deficit (well, stop wasteful spending on $100+ Billion trains to nowhere). To address the deficit, the PRK is considering taxing by the mile so they can doublely screw petroleum users and singly screw electric/hybrid users.

We had a governor who put through a 50 cent per gallon tax, supposedly for road work, last year. We still have the tax but we don't have that Governor any more. Seems that one term loser lost in a land slide.
Now we have a governor who can't pass a budget! The new loser wants to throw more money supposedly at education, but it seems like the legislation can't figure out how to pay the tax on the fuel to transport the students!
HMMMM we elect them??????
