It cost $13 less to fill up my car--I should be ecstatic but I'm not

I know that as soon as the November elections end, surely by the new year, prices will return to the ridiculous levels we endured this past summer.

Bush's trickle-down economy is taking its toll on me. I can't seem to stay ahead and I am not counting on volatile, collusion-based gas prices as a means to help.

My mortgage just icreased by $100 a month because of local tax increases. Obviously, since BushCo is not giving states funds from the federal taxes we pay, the states are going after citizens like me to make up the difference. I feel like a whining tax-hating Republican complaining about tax increases but my real complaint remains with Bush. If he wasn't sending my damned tax dollars to Iraq, then maybe I could make a decent wage.

1. I'm in the same boat.
local taxes all over the country are going up to make up short falls from federal funds. Bush economy sucks for the middle class.
