We just went by Casey's and it's still 1.66 and the lines have been solid. They've drained the cheapest gas but are selling their premium for the same price. I'm betting they empty their tanks tonight.

All but 3 gas stations in town have dropped a few cents less than $1.99/gal. Lowest is $1.96 at most stations.

Watch the State of Illinois increase the gas tax this year. They'll say it hasn't been increased in years. With the tax on earnings going down, they'll figure a way to make up the difference. Just my thoughts for today.

the feds are already saying now would be a good time to increase the federal fuel tax with prices so low it wouldn't hurt people.

I'd be willing to pay more on the tax, if they'd have the balls to put a cap on the price per gallon. Or maybe say that beyond a certain amount per gallon the tax would be froze, meaning as an example, if the cap was $3, there would be no tax applied for anything over that amount. Yeah, it would be a headache for those selling, but they've got to have a little toothache as well...no matter, it's going to go up in Illinois and at the federal level as well.

Wouldn't it be much better to just quit spending like drunken sailors?
Is there ANYONE in this state who can spend like these whores?

Easy Barack Obama and his Administration. By the time he LEAVES office he will have taken the National Debt from 10 Trillion Dollars to 20 Trillion Dollars in 8 Years. Or added 1.25 Trillion a YEAR to that Debt. Mind you this is on a Government that takes in over 3.5 Trillion dollars a Year but somehow needs 5 Trillion to make ends Meet. Or as we say in my household SOMEONE HAS A HUGE SPENDING PROBLEM.

Now Iron Eagle, don't exaggerate it.
When Hussein took office the national debt stood at 10.625 Trillion.
That extra 625 Billion makes all the difference......... << Sarcasm off >>

I am going on Projected Debt for 2020 we have no CLUE how bad it is going to be when Obamacare fully Kicks in in 2018 now do we. I wonder how many Union Workers are going to be loving the Democratic Party when the Healthcare plans they have now cost them 3-5 Grand a year in INCOME Taxes. Or how many Democrats are going to be happy when in 2016 that the Money their Employer Spends to Provide them with MANDATED healthcare now has to count that as TAXABLE INCOME and starts to Take Federal Withholding out for it. Yes that is written into the LAW and those are the Years that it starts to take effect. BTW those happen BEFORE any Election happens as it goes into effect Jan 1 of each Year.

What was the debt when Clinton left office? When Bush left office? I'm curious as how it compares to now and how much debt each president inherited from his predecessor.
