What are you more concerned about:rising gas prices or rising milk prices?

Answer 1

Gas ..I wouldn't drink horse or snake milk..so I don't drink cow's milk..it's for calves ..but I did hear that milk in some places is over $4.00 a gallon . Does that mean the elected democrats who go after "big oil" - will now go after "big milk"?

Answer 2

Neither because there is nothing I can do about it. Lets hope we can find an alternative to gas. I have so many other things to worry about like budget cuts in our school system and consolidating schools so our kids are in a classroom with to many other children and 1 principal runs 3 schools in different towns, terrorist attacking our country and watching friends lose love ones again, I worry about all the convicted sex offenders that live within miles of me. There was a time where people survived without gas and dairy's. Milk came straight from the cow and they all survived.

Answer 3

Definitely rising gas prices. For every gallon of milk I buy, I end up buying 10 gallons of gas. That adds up to a LOT more money. In addition to that, the gas prices are directly hurting people who live near or below the poverty line. If you are poor, you can get food stamps to pay for your milk. You cannot get food stamps to pay for your gas so you can get to work so you won't be poor anymore. That sucks.

Answer 4

While I am concerned about I understand it.

Here in lies the problem.

We have been held hostage to a couple of things, Ecomarxists have stimied efforts to build new refineries and allowing exploration domestically since the late 70s with NO effort to develop domestic supplies and alternatives other then Ethanol which is a net loss in the energy cycle.

the problem with Ethanol is that it is a food source and substance. As farmers see the price of corn rise, they are growing fence row to fence row, irrigating corn ripping out water ways to plant corn.

Milk (and other foods ) prices are part of this whole package.

We need to explore and exploit known oil reserves off the shore of florida, calfornia and ANWR.
We need to build refining capacity (341 in 1978, 170 at present).
We need to limit the number of seasonal gasoline blends to 4 nationwide.
We need to explore the use of Coal to Liquid and Gas to Liquid in the transportation feedstock supply chain.

"to address the "Free Milk" stuff, guess what ?? I pay for that milk through my tax dollars and subsidies to the dairy lobby.. Truthfully the milk price is inflated artificially to begin with. I live in a production state and the dairy farmers get my hard earned tax money for not producing.

Answer 5

I don't worry about either, but I think most are concerned about gas prices. If gas prices rise, everything that is associated with gas rises (basically all products that are transported!).

Answer 6

Rising gas prices. Milk can always easily be substituted with other stuff. Gas not so much. Alternative sources aren't meant for large consumption.

Answer 7

Gas

Answer 8

Gas prices, I can live without milk if I have to. I've heard cereal prices are going to go through the roof - something to do with Ethanol use.

Answer 9

Gas. I need the gas to get to work so I can afford milk.

Answer 10

gas prices
where I'm from theres a program to help you get free milk, but only if you have kids below age 5
