40 Dollars Worth of Fuel In Feb/March. : ThyBlackMan.com

The Congress finally agreed to pass the payroll tax cut and pompously beat its chest about how they care about the people and how that $40.00 will help us so much. Now we see how much help it will provide. We cant even buy a full tank of gas with our $40.00 windfall. What a joke! But the jokes on us, folks.
What used to be Forty Acres and a Mule has been reduced to Forty Dollars and Some Fuel, and we have bought into it lock stock and barrel (Pardon the pun). Most of us know enough about basic economics to know that when the demand for a product goes down so too does the price, right? Wrong! In the case of high gasoline prices the current gouging defies economic logic. The demand for gasoline is at a seven-year low, yet the price has risen and continues to rise to a level that will use our $40.00 payroll tax cut and then some to make up for it.
