Neverside

good one nickkis...

we're spending less money than we used to when Clinton was in office...With oil prices as high as they are now, and our tax and interest rates going up, we can't afford too many things...it's $.75 in my town just to buy candy...a regular size bag! It's not that people are getting stingier, it's that they can't afford the prices now so they continue to use the same **** over and over...

The last time I checked, which was in May, the Euro was better than the USD. I don't know what it is now, but I believe that with Bush still in office, our economy will start to crumble and we'll fall from within...no infrastructure to support the money the mint keep pouring out...we'll have too much money in circulation and the USD will become worthless....

I may be taking into account that me moving there, I would be making tax free money if I stay with my company and currency conversion.
Right now, I'm making ~40k a year, before taxes.
If I was to move to Birmingham, they would up my salary to ~60k, and it would be completely tax free, because I would be in a foreign country. I would also get more money for working out of the country, about $10k a year, then living allowances each month (for rent and such). So Most of the ~70k a year would be pocket money.
All this in GBP too. Then convert it back to USD and with the coversion rate now I'd be one rich guy (nearly 120USD a year.)

Major oil companies are buying new equipment and they need to raise their prices to pay for it

Quote:

Election year, war and someone being the owner of a oil and gas company.

wouldnt a presidential candidate want to lower gas prices in election year? that theory doesnt make much sense
wouldnt war in iraq which everyone seems to believe is for oil, only lower prices?
what oil company does GWB own?

and if GWB is raising prices for oil because he has ties to oil, does that mean that if kerry is elected we can look forward to ketchup costing a fortune?

the economy is fine right now. the stock market is on its way right back up, there have been 1.5 million jobs created in the last three months, and the unemployment rate is in a perfect spot... what's so wrong in your opinion?

The war on Iraq restricted oil exported for the "food for gas campaign". Conflict in the region also puts a strain on big oil countries in the are (Saudi Arabia and Kuwait). They have to take extra precautions to insure the oil supply stays somewhat steady, which in turn pushes price per barrel up.

Look about halfway down on the right side. "Owner, oil and gas business"

And yes, Ketchup prices will go up. And his wife will buy even more mansions around the country. LOL

Also, in attempt to create more jobs during an election year to get votes, more USD is produced and put into circulation, which also means it won't buy what it could 1 year ago.

oh, I'm sorry am I disagreeing with your opinion? I love this country because one person can tell another to stop defending the president.

I'm not exactly defending, more like I'm just looking at things from every side.
