GAS

Guess what is the story of the day in California?  Yep...the price of gas.  Lots of people are pissed at the latest spike in gas prices.  But I just don't understand that.  California has been headed in this direction for a long time.  The politicians that have been elected over the last several years have systematically driven business away, gone green to an extreme, kowtowed to the Union thugs, and made decisions that  are taking the once golden state where all things were possible to a place on its way to bankruptcy as it channels Greece.  The folks in charge like high gas prices.  They think that's just fine.  It suits their agenda.  A really good explanation of where we are today is at
