Whats the deal with the NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK?

I mean come on, it’s going up like a mil a minute. No wonder why gas is so expensive. The IRS isn’t making enough off the common man’s taxes, whose making at or close to minimum wage. This seems senseless that we suffer, paying 3 bucks a gallon for gas and 4 a gallon for milk? Imagine if this country actually made the money it was spending in interest, all of us would have more than enough because they wouldn’t need to take our” milk money”.

This may not be a popular answer, but with fuel prices around the world have always been much higher than the USA. When I moved to Britain a few years ago I discover gas was already at $6/gallon and is now closer to $8.50.
The weak US dollar is raising prices on everything imported because it simply takes more dollars to buy things. Once the dollar stabilizes you should see your fuel prices stabilize at something well below the $8.50 I have to pay every day.
