Gas Prices

Over spring break I bought a new car. I was on the hunt for a new one for a while. I had my heart set on getting a 2010 Mazda 3 for under $13,000 with under 50,000 miles. In today economy that is a very hard thing to find, mainly because of gas prices.  With gas prices going up to almost $4 a gallon people are deciding to turn in their big trucks and SUVs to get better more fuel efficient cars.  Should gas prices really be this high? Personally I don’t think they should. I almost have to get another job to pay for my gas and my incurrence.   Maybe we could look at ways to lower the price of gas.  Maybe we could stop driving as much and ride bikes from place to place, or maybe even walk.  This would bring the demand for gas down and the supply up, so they would have to lower the price back down. Is Obama part of the issue that gas prices are too high? I don’t know. I think that he could be part of the issue, and he should do something about it.  I still remember when I first got my license and gas was about $2 a gallon and we got outraged when it got as high as $3. We all hear stories about it all the time on the news and everyone was going crazy buying bikes and finding new ways of transportation.  Well what are we doing now that is it $4…..nothing. You don’t see half as many news stories on it anymore and I feel like people are treating this as less of an issue, when it clearly is a huge issue.

I read the article Obama: (it is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15^th in the world in broadband adoption”. The article was very interesting. I didn’t even know that we were ranked 15^th to me that is a little bit unacceptable as well.  We were the people that created the internet and we should really use it to our advantages. We should be able to use the internet to every advantage that we can.  We should even use it to connect with other countries easier as well.  There are so many different ways to use the internet that we might not even know about.  Obama says that he will change how we use the internet but I haven’t seen much change since he has become president. In fact no one has seemed that many changes since he has became president. In my opinion thought, there is really a lot of too many other things to worry about then how we use the internet.  So we should really think were the priorities are and what we should really focus on…….the internet ……or how much the world is in dept.
