27. please understand that the cost of gasoline
and MANY commodities is tied directly to the weakness in the dollar. the dollar has plummeted against other currencies in the last few months and what looks like a high price for gasoline is really just a lot of DOLLARS for gasoline...but the dollar doesn't buy what it used to...

Our currency is headed for a tailspin...it will get worse before it gets better. you cannot print trillions of dollars out of thin air and not expect it to dilute your currency and thus your purchasing power.
