It's been the talk of the middle aged taxpayers; the gas prices have went up 45 cents, locally, in the past two weeks. It doesn't seem to be a lot for some, but for others, they say, "I'm losing 5$ to $10 a day." This might be a national scandal, and it will affect everyone.
The Libyan war is one of the main causes. The financial downturn is spreading through many regions and it's not looking good. This worries me, I don't like how we are blaming Africa for financial mistakes and problems. I think that we need to try harder to stop depending on foreign oil. Issues like this causes war all over the country. This is why people get outraged and wars start.
Are we going to see ridiculous high gas prices like we did in 2008? The controversial price of $4.05 in July set numerous people off. Personally, I am worried. I'm going to be getting a car soon and working two jobs on minimum wage isn't going to cut it, whatsoever. I want to have a car that runs nicely, and I know the prices are going to be high and hard to deal with. Gas prices are going to be an extremely hard struggle to work with, at my age. No matter what, if you are depending on your own incoem from work, gas prices are going to affect you.
What is anybody to do? We are just going to have to wait around until they go up or back down, patiently. Let's all hope some good things will happen with the prices. Let's hope it goes back to 50 cents! That'd be a dream.
