Credit-card delinquencies hit record - Good read I thought.

[Outlaw1]

Last year at this time I was paying half of what I pay for fuel now. My fuel bill has doubled, and that's more than $20 a month difference for me. Just for reference sake, I have driven more than 31,000 miles in the last year. Luckily I make enough money and I can absorb the cost easily. What about those people that are just getting by? It's easy to say "get a better job", but that's not the only solution. I don't see how raising the fuel prices could help anyone, except the people selling oil/gas and the government that taxes them. I am onsite at the 7th largest refinary in the United States and I have not found anyone that could justify the price of oil/fuel. Maybe I'm asking the wrong people. Within the last two days the price of fuel has gone from $2.56 to $2.76 at the gas station close to my house. Who is that helping? Not me.
