Barring a major strengthening of the USD, he is correct.
Well, there is another alternative of using tax dollars as a subsidy to artificially push gas to $2.50, but I doubt you are in support of that solution.

He's correct.
Milk, bread, bottled water, etc. is up too. You probably aren't going to see them for 2005 prices again either. HTH

You mean the Jan 2009 prices, when Obama took office.

I never felt more awesome as I did when milk was only $1.87/gallon
Now it is lucky to get slim milk at $2.99  |

But you're making more money in Cali, so prices being twice as much is ok, right?

Poll posted:
As to the question of whether a president "can do a lot to control gas prices," theNew York Times/CBS News poll found that 54% of Americans believe they can and 36% saying they can't.
We're doomed.
Also, the comments on that site are a riot. Tons of morons who seem to really believe that gas would go down to $2.50 tomorrow if Obama just waved his pen.

Actually food in general is cheaper here. The only thing noticeable is rent cost. Going from a 500/month to 1200/month is considerable
The cost of the life style is more costly too. People here are much less practical and are more materialistic and judgey

That's SoCal for you.
Also, prices were low in 2009 because we were in the middle of a massive economic meltdown. If we destroyed the economy again we could probably have low gas prices. Maybe that will be the Republican 2012 platform? "Destroy the economy, cheap gas for all!!!11"

I think majority of the people I meet here are in mountains of debt in some way or form. In my apartment, which is not crappy but it isn't really good, there's entire parking lots of Mercedes and brand new Corvettes, Audis etc. I probably make double the amount other people do who live there, too, and even I couldn't really afford those without having to take out some sort of loan
