Anyone living in the UK would of no doubt heard the constant news about the cost of everything.

> Petrol prices are rocketing up
> Desil is going up
> Oil is going up
> Car tax is going up

Because of the price of petrol going up, the price of food also has to go up.

> Gas prices going up
> Electric prices going up
> Water prices going up

Council tax is also going up.
The last time it went up was to pay for all the recycling bins and trucks that they had to buy. The reduction is also going to pay to recycle the waste.

Wait.. don't you get paid for recycling?
Yep.
BUT - UK doesn't have enough recycling plants for all the waste. So we sell it on to company's that want it. But most company's don't want this waste, as a lot of it is mixed with different type of plastic and paper.
- So what do they do with it? The burry it.. just like before.

Now people like my Dad, who don't, and can't work, they have to reply upon money that they are given. But with prices going up for everything, these people cannot afford to live.

So the government give them more money. But then the government is down on money... So they raise the prices on everything again.

You hear of people, and watch documentaries on murderers - who commit a crime, just so they can go to prison.

- You get good quality food & drink
- You get a warm bed every night
- You get a roof over your head
- If your good, you get a library that you can go to
- you get exercise equipment
- If your good you can even have access to TV!
- You are surrounded by other people, that you make friends with
- Free, and good quality medical care

^ All them things that I listed may be basic things, but when you look at these people in Africa, who are starving to death, and dieing in their thousands everyday... What a fanatic life you have in prison!

Pffft.
This country sucks.
Anyone want a new flat mate in USA?

Ya, the US is getting hit hard. The everyday person is getting screwed. It's only going to get worse before it gets better. I blame our president. He's like an oil spill, it's going to take years to clean up his mess. Thanks Bush!

Here, I included a Happy picture to make this post less depressing:
