Quit Whining About Gas!

...because the Village says it's more affordable now than it was during the Kennedy years, so why are you complaining?

But perception is not reality where gas prices are concerned. By June of this year, disposable income had risen by an average of $1,627 per person over last year's figures, according to the Department of Commerce, while the average person's real expenditures on gasoline increased by about $490. Our incomes are still outpacing gasoline price increases. The problem is that our incomes aren't outpacing the increase in gas prices lumped together with increases in everything else -- air conditioning, food, etc. Our homes, meanwhile, are losing value.

Oh, THAT'S why we're complaining. Well gee. So the problem's not gas prices, it's the fact that gas prices taken along with the other ass-reaming price increases and the housing collapse are screwing the American people over. But GAS isn't the problem. Nope.
