Just stepped in for lunch and on the TV A man in a suit was telling that in the long run Americans can expect a strong ression and economics troubles for the public with high gas prices, comes high trucking cost, high trucking higher prices on goods delivered, But the American pay check can not keep up with the out of control oil market. His comment to this was Americans need to restrict there spending and accept the fact that high gas prices are here to stay. Also when asked about agriculture cost affect his anwser was there is no noteable affect fore seen. Then tell me how we can afford to harvest $1.98 bu. corn at $3.00 agallon gas when here in Western Ky we had a bad drought this summer leaving us looking at 75 bu/per ac. corn. Gas has increased at 140% over last year wages, Have made a 2% increase and crops prices have not made any increase.

This Storm just proved how weak, America, really is. Now we need corn gas and bio diesel to save America Just my point of thinking !!!
