My other guitar is a Strat.

Currently getting it at £0.85 per litre thats $1.27. Thats $5.765 ish per gallon.

We can all enjoy the low gas prices... but only for a while... sources say (whom ever they are) is that gas will go up at an alarming rate again. And probably sooner than we would like.

I noticed that it was on Election Day that gas in our area started going down... and in some areas, it dropped as much as 30 cents over night.

Oops, gas just went up a penny by me from 1.67 to 1.68... here we go!

Regular price in cville Maryland today is 1.75 I was reading that several of the OPEC nations are talking about a the curent world economy will take about 18 months before it starts to get better. I am am worried more now because many of the people that were behind the banking reform and overhaul that took place in November 1999 are now getting appointments in the new up coming Executive branch. I will never forget how they taunted how great it was when the two parties work together and they passed that reform that was going to move us way ahead. There were a few saying look out 10 years down the road well turned out it only took it 7 1/2 years. Maybe they will get it right the second time around but they should have left it they FDR had it . Seem to work for 70 years.
Remember this news headline for this was the seeds to what we have today.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The biggest change in the nation's banking system since the Great Depression became law Friday, when President Bill Clinton signed a measure overhauling federal rules governing the way financial institutions operate.

"This legislation is truly historic and it indicates what can happen when Republicans and Democrats work together in a spirit of genuine cooperation," Clinton said at a White House signing ceremony. The event brought together the president and several Republican members of Congress who have been among Clinton's sternest critics -- a sign of the bipartisan support that eventually developed for the package.

Congress passed the bipartisan measure November 5, opening the way for a blossoming of financial "supermarkets" selling loans, investments and insurance. Proponents had pushed the legislation in Congress for two decades, and Wall Street and the banking and insurance industries had poured millions of dollars into lobbying for it in the past few years.

Outside of the USA i cant see any bank losing out on the current economic climate. In the Uk the bank of englands raising intrest on savings and lowering interest on loans and next to non of its being passed onto the customer. Profit all ways round.
These are the true rulers of the world and their thumb is firmly planted on our heads.

Just saw $1.79 for Regular at some place called U-Gas. That's the lowest I've seen.

What happens in the U.S. rolls dawn hill to the rest of the world in time. U.K. Banks are tanking fast and makeing low int. loans to all ais not good and thats just a part of it.
News fromDuring late August and Early September, the Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) began to collapse. The UK was eager to prevent this at all costs, as Halifax bank is a major player in the UK. In a deal brokered in part by UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown himself, Loyds TSB would buy out the Halifax bank to prevent a melt down. Now word comes from several reports in the UK that the this deal is starting to fall apart, by some measure due to the continuing deterioration of banking balance sheets world wide as the deflation fire burns up assets hourly. From the Telegraph the U.K.


TAXPAYERS will fork out £50billion as part of an emergency plan unveiled today to rescue Britain’s battered banks.

In a crisis meeting before the financial markets open this morning, Alistair Darling announced the Government's plans to buy substantial stakes in high street banks in a desperate bid to halt the meltdown in the financial sector.

The epic gamble, seen as a desperate last resort, will inject up to £50bn of taxpayers' cash into the system to end the credit shortage.

The state bail-out - which will be the biggest nationalisation of modern times - comes after another day of panic on the stock market, with banks suffering devastating share losses amid concerns over their funding.

it was 30 billion that was put into high street banking. HBOS was bought out by TSB ( the nations most stable bank outside of Northern Rock). Followed today by a 2.5% cut in Vat that has been publicised as a 20bil cash injection into the economy, when in reality its nothing but a slight meaningless relief for the working man to try and induce a feelgood factor. Even that VAT cut was done on the promise of the state taking back 40bil in 2years time.

What i really want to know is. When our nations banks start producing a profit again. will I as a member of the state be entitled to a quaterly dividend. I cant see it myself.

Personaly im getting my money out of england. Im off buying property in bulgaria next week.

Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better and that 2.5 VAT cut thats only good thru 2009 its not going to do anything, but it sounds good to people with the other things they are doing. From what I have been reading they are taking about things tuning around in the UK after 2011 It has been said that the VAT reduction will not do anything because people will not be able to spend as much so it will neturalize any effect it has. Seems that Darling is the only one that thinks its going to help. But we all no when times are tough people save and spend less for that just in case moment in time. You may have noticed I go through the Times from the UK most every day along a few other papers.

The uk's dead mate. Its time to get out of it. Alaister Darling is a idiot, i watched him give the speach on bbc parliament24 the opposition parties were howling in derision at him.
Your knowledge of the british economy amazes me. You should check out the guardian's website too. Heres a interesting article relevant to both sides of the pond.

As with all politicians and journalism you have to look for the underlying message.
