Stopped in Smith's Grove KY, above Bowling Green, on the way to Indy for the PRI Show, gas was $2.27,right on the Interstate.

I suspect it will take a while for prices to make any movement downward from the inflation insanity. It usually does. Diesel isn't down, as much, so fuel costs are still driving the costs of transporting goods to stay high.

Texas may be able to choose to lower property tax,... the state, like IL, has a flight issue. A lot of people are leaving that state and lowerin taxes may draw some in. If not you're losing revenue.

SS deductions are capped at 6k, but from what I understand you have to itemize it and I think that would be a schedule C form. They don't just stop taking it, you fight to get it back in deductions/returms. My SS is taxed federally.

There are some misconceptions and even political talking points here,... you're just going to have to realize it on your own. Which seems to be a snail pace.

Umm...big oil decides that, not EPA. They know a person who uses gas can usually stay home when it gets too high, slow down buying it. A trucker who uses diesel needs it every day no matter what...can't, so they gouge them and they will get it every day. No matter what.
