What am I missing...I just paid $3.59 for a gallon of milk. Why is not as big an issue than a gallon of gas? Milk isn't as big a necessity as gas, but it is a staple item. We import most of our oil but most of our milk is domestic. So why does this not get everyone's ire up?

Because for most of us, we need gas every single day. In today's America most people work a good distance from where they live. Unless you work on a farm. So spending money on gas just for commuting is very frustrating, considering most of America is not in the middle class. Those in the lower classes have it even tougher. The more money they spend on gas, the less money they spend on food, housing, and "living" essentials.Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers

i hear ya...it all makes sense. I was just thinking driving home about how and where milk is produced/transported/sold versus gas and how/where produced/transported/sold and on the surface, milk should cost half as much as gas...one would think.Three Jack's Record http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/sh...10#post1323910

for 1%. Sounds like the store or convenience store is making the money. I can guarantee you it's not the farmer.

Figure what a gallon of water is.. when you buy it in a 20 oz bottle at 7-11 for $1.29 ... around $18.00 a gallon .. but we do it every day ... No one bitches ... I live in West Texas .. I don't like paying $3.00 a gallon for gas .. but when it helps feed my family ... I can live with it ..

I get milk at Costco for $1.90 a gallon. However, if you buy a name brand like Kemps it's around $3.50 a gallon at the grocery store. Milk tastes the same, wonder why Kemps charges so much!
We needs to start using E85 fuel in the future so we don't have to depend on other countries for oil.Posted record as of 03/12/08:

I'm sure if everyone had to drink 25-30 gallons of milk a week you would hear some bitching .... But then again, I'm pretty sure the leading "milk company" is not profiting $36 billion a year."Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant'
is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'"
