Reading stories like this really instills the conspiracy theory as fact. Since the government does not tie the price of fuel to inflation we see inflation at a deflated unrealistic 3%. Last month the gas price was $3.64 now $4.29 (unleaded) an increase of 15.15% in one month where does 3% come from....when last did anyone in Congress do grocery shopping, buy a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread! When last did the citizens of the US get a cost of living salary increase as they do in Europe/Australia and many other places in the world....I mean those that don't work for the governement of course they seem to do okay!! I hate to use the words but it is seriously time to "wake up America!"

"Besides Nevada, the wealthiest state in the nation, doesn't want educated people - who will make beds and wash dishes in their casinos" and I could not agree more. Our children are the dumbest in the nation. A friend who got a teaching job here when we were offering bonus great pay blah blah is leaving Vegas this weekend to return to a teaching job back East. He said he was told take a pay cut or leave...the schooling in Vegas needs more than just the Lottery it needs a serious change in leadership! But hey we always have booze, drugs and more homeless than we can take care of...WOHOO VEGAS!!!
