Bliggity Bloggity BLAH



***Caution.....this blog may depress you or piss you off ***

I'm finding it very hard to maintain my positiveness this week so I thought I would share my negativity.(You're welcome) I am just outright grumpy and disgruntled. Have you seen the price of damn gas? I am seriously over it! $3.50 a gallon, you have to be shitting me!! It makes me want to revolt and never by a damn gallon of gas again. I promise you that I would bike my ass to work or take public transportation if this was at all possible. However its not, because I work 50 miles away  and the south lags behind in the public transportation arena. I guess I could bike to work but I would have to leave 4 hours before my shift starts and quite frankly I just don't have that kind of time to allott to transportation purposes.

It's not enough that my family spend 700 bucks in gas a month, but we are also expected to pay more for our groceries, airfare, and dinners out. McDonald's has even raised their prices!!!! Our wages on the other hand, have either stayed the same or decreased.  Americans have always seen the U.S. as a powerhouse. Are we though??? We import billions of goods from China, outsource work to the Philippines, and depend on other countries for oil. We fight other countries battles while our own country falls apart. Compare the children in China to American children and you will find our kids are lagging drastically behind, yet because of budget cuts many states are going to a 4 day school week. This country is in some serious trouble. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Thanks for letting me rant ...feel free to put your two cents in, it may just make you feel better. :)
