Yea it was pretty cool, we almost got a full tank for like $1.78 the other day. Pump said like 10cents a gallon, we freaked out and were gonna fill tanks and shit. But the pump realized quickly and changed the price after we we're done.

Gas prices are up today anyway. I wouldn't be worried about localized shortages however - its most likely an aftershock from people freaking out about Ike.
The economy is stumbling more and more each day as a result of the crash from lenders giving too much money to people who could never afford to pay it back. Go ahead and ask me why "the government" (aka lawmakers aka the senate) never did anything to stop it - more specifically, why they turned a blind eye to it. Or better yet, who promoted it!

even if the prices of oil goes down, if we continue to panic and cause a sudden increase in the amont of gas that will be percuhsed today the price of gas has no reason to drop. IMO

If gas goes up to $7 a gallon I should be able to get a Q45 for dirt cheap. Yay!

What you should know first is that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were essentially created by the government. They're called GSE's - government sponsored enterprises. As such, they were not required to report financial data to the public (investors or anybody) and were only governed by the rules/regulations put forth by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They also had access to a line of credit form the US Treasury.
Next bit of info:
http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had been paying off lawmakers to avoid renewing their policies for years. In the past 3 years, senator Obama has received almost as much money as the number one spot holder, Dodd (who's been in office for 20+ years). Basically, lobbying and payoffs prevented the senate from ever regulating them.
Next up is everybody's favorite - Bill Clinton. During his administration, he and congress encouraged FM/FM to provide mortgages for low income households without credit checks or any other regulatory practices. Even though they *knew* there was no way these people could afford to pay them back, they felt it was best to give people money...so they can have nicer houses...
5 years ago Bush - the president everybody blames for economic woes of today - wanted more oversight and tighter restrictions over FM/FM to prevent bad loan practices. Even FM/FM accepted the deal full knowing the crisis they were facing. Instead, it was blocked by Democrats in Congress who support low income financing. The report at the time:
”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”
Riiiight.
What happened was the same thing you hear about when corporations bloat portfolios and fudge accounting numbers to inflate earnings and profit margins. Those people go to jail for what they do. Here on the other hand, they have been supported in their actions by greedy senate and an ignorant congress. Hey, I'm all for housing opportunities but when the people can't pay them back or shouldn't even be approved in the first place, something else needs to be done.
Lmao wow i didnt expect all this feedback....but thats why i said hialeah, i know were not running out of gas, but the owners of gas stations are and its getting harder for them to afford it, so just in case. I use regular, and i put like $10 a week, so whatever, but if gas stations start closing then thats just gonna apply the term Supply and Demand, and thats shits gonna go up high and fast!
