“Times are changing”

Just what does that phrase mean? I have been hearing it more and more lately. For me it means just that; Everything that we know of is changing. The price of gasoline is the most obvious change. I still remember when I was concerned that the price of a gallon of gas was hitting $1.00. And now, gas is getting closer and closer to $3.00 per gallon. It is so funny when I hear somebody saying “I saw where gas was $2.59 per gallon over on the other side of town, Man, that’s cheap”.

Whatever, cheap is still outrageous to me.

Then you have the price of natural gas and electricity more than doubling, ouch. And all you hear on the radio is how the cost of electricity really isn’t any higher now than before the deregulation. All you can do is laugh afterwards because at the end of the commercial you hear, “This add paid for by some electric company”. Well hell yeah they are gonna say that in hopes to get another penny out of you. I for one know that the electricity was cheaper back then because first off, I have never paid for an electric bill that is as high as now, hello.

I can hear it now…the same old excuse as always, inflation…whatever. I just heard on the news that last month wages increased, WTF. Where did this happen because I haven’t seen an increase and none of my friends or family have seen it either, that I know of. So I guess somebody in Washington got a raise and decided to report it as if everybody did.

The “Good Ole Days” are gone when it comes to Free Country in my mind. I need a raise to relieve some of the pressure of rising costs. And I think everybody reading this could use some relief as well.

After all the venting…I still wouldn’t live anywhere else. I love the USA. You will always know when your talking with a true American because they are usually bitching about something.

Why do we bitch? Because we can. Gotta love America.
