Gas Sucks!

I read an article, “Americans facing Tough Choice: Gallon of Gas or Entire Meal”, and it really put things into prospective. You can get by with a 10 dollar meal IF you’re lucky. You go out to eat at a restaurant and you can get by with a $5 meal, if you go to McDonalds. A gallon of gas is going to soon be up to $4. They say by summer it will be $5. Meals are going way up for just one person and then you’ve got the gas to get there. There have been times were I’ve had to choose between a meal and gas just like the article states in its title. I think money is overrated. I think we should just share with everyone and everyone just be happy with what they have. We could build our own houses all by ourselves and grow our own vegetables and raise our own meat. If someone doesn’t do so great with that year, we can just share what we have left over. We can just work to support everyone, just like the world is like today but do it all without money. And for transportation, well they used horses before they had cars! As great of an idea this is, I know for a fact that things would NEVER get that way. But in all seriousness, gas prices need to drop and so do food costs. Food prices are going up just because of transportation but I think they just need to fly the food if that’s any cheaper. I think I’m going to have to start watching my spending a lot more closely.
