Lyrics, First Verse

I don't like instant ice tea
And I ain't crazy about dollar a gallon self-service gasoline
They nearly broke me with the high price of beef
And the funny thing is they think they're putting this over on me

Last week, I paid $ 3.13 for regular, cash price, at the Chevron down the street. Diesel is generally about $ 3.50 up to maybe $ 3.80 or $ 3.90. I have seen it over $ 4 here and there, but those are outliers, in some cases, truck stops where they know they have a captive market.

$1 in 1979 is equal to $4.30 today in buying power. Nothing has changed.

Same old made-up bullshit, we sold out to China 50 years ago, lost our ability to manufacture our own stuff, have voted in crooks to shut down our own clean oil production so we could buy dirty oil from our enemies at huge price increases, and on and on. I blame it ALL on DEMOCRATS.

Well stated!!
$4.00/gallon is minimal, as will go to $8.00/gallon if fjb steals the election again.

I would love for gasoline to drop down to only $4/gallon.

Lots of R's to blame. Speaking of, how's SotH Johnson doing right now? He just sold out America to borrow money we don't have to send to the Ukraine, Israel, and, in a lesser ammount, Taiwan.

Nothing for you, though. Sucker.

The Republicans are so lame and mis-guided that I'm almost afraid to admit I am one. If I could be independent and vote for a Republican candidate in my state, I would. But that isn't available where I am. If you are non partisan, all you get is a D or L ballot.

The Republicans are under the misguided notion that Democrats will play fair sooner or later, and that they need to just placate them and play nice.
WRONG. The Republicans only chance is to get down into the mud pit and take on those dirty, insidious, evil ****ing monsters at their own level.
Which is what is going to happen on a civic level if there is a civil war. I don't think the taxpayers will play as nice as the politicians if it comes to that.

Republicans are complicit because they would rather lose graciously than win viscously.
But the problems the country faces are the fault of the democrats, going all the way back to slavery.

Republicans have realized it is futile to fight against the Democrats (Communists) and are content to just make as much cash as they possibly can before they are shown the door and are relegated to the dust bin of history. You have got to admire the discipline the Democrats have imposed on their disparate factions. Once the Democrats have won, that’s when you will see the in-fighting begin inside the “big Democratic Tent”. It will be the Ilham Omars vs the Jamie Raskins vs the Joe Manchins in a fight to the death. Meanwhile, the United States of America will just be a name to identify us geographically.
