What is wrong with these people!?!?

Okay. First of all, what is up with these gas prices?!?! This is getting ridiculous!! Hello, congress, president, whoever, maybe you should be doing something about this?? Maybe? I don't care what anybody says, I blame George Bush and say it's his fault. I firmly believe that he is one of the worst presidents that we have ever had. Agree or disagree it doesn't matter because that's my opinion and you can't change it. I can't wait until he is out of office and I will celebrate it when he is. I don't care who the next president is, republican or democrat, they can't possibly be as bad as he was.

Anyway, on another note, nation...what is up with this "fuzzy math" crap. Really. Estimating? Estimating is good for some things yes I will agree. It's just estimating though. Exact figures are more important!! Don't teach our youth to just estimate and be lazy like that!! TEACH THEM HOW TO FIGURE THINGS OUT EXACTLY!!!!! Is it really really that difficult? People say this is preparing them better for the future but is it really? Tell me, what job is it okay to say....well I think it's about this so that's what I'm gonna charge you? I mean really, I know some jobs you do give estimates...and those are important. I'm not saying that estimating and knowing how to do it isn't important. What I'm saying is that only teaching estimating and focusing on that....not so good.

 

Oy.......I shouldn't watch the news. Ever.

1 The Prez has zero influence over the price of gas or anything else.  Politicians in general should stay out of the markets altogether.  For instance, during the last price spike Hawaii decided that gas shouldn't cost more than a certain amount, so they passed a law capping the price.  When it costs more to refine, transport and distribute gas than what you can charge for it, the only sensible thing to do is to quit selling it there.  Gas stations all over the islands offered gas for the legal maximum a gallon, except that nobody had any actual gas to sell.

Another great example is the price of electricity in Maryland.  For over a decade, the electric companies weren't allowed to raise rates, and they started losing a lot of money.  When the caps finally expired, people had a conniption because their rates were going up over 100%!!!  If the caps hadn't been in place, it would have been a little bit at a time instead of the whole lump at once.

2 Oh I don't even want to hear about gas prices. We just put gas in the car yesterday and had to put more in today.
