1. Jan. '01 Bush Took Office Gas Nat. Avg. was $1.45 - Jan '06 Nat Avg

Edited on Mon Sep-18-06 10:07 AM by WePurrsevere

was $2.32 per gallon. From 1999 through 2005 the National Median Income dropped 2.8%.

All that and record profits for oil companies and retirement packages for their CEO's... even as taxpayers offer corp welfare to these poor unfortunate :sarcasm: hogs.
