Pricey gasoline costs U.S. consumers extra $20 bln
This is serious, and something I have been thinking about, how many friends and family have less so spend on food and other necessary and nice things, and it’s making other things go up. Bottled water and sodas are more where I live, and these things are definitely digging into the good times that we work so hard for. I can’t tell you how many of my family and friends just can’t afford to go out and have a nice dinner or good show, and I believe if gas wasn’t so high and everything else going up on price, I might be able to get some people together and go to cirque soleil. But we are probably going to miss one of the best shows that have ever come to town, amongst things.
