Texans Going To Pawn Shops To Get Extra Gas $$

[RamboLiberal]

High gasoline prices are causing some people to take desperate measures.

Pawn shops say their business is increasing, with some customers saying they're selling things to buy gas.

Gas prices are climbing again, with most stations prices hovering at, or just below $3.00 a gallon. For some people the high fuel prices are overwhelming.

"We just have customers come in and have to tell us that they need money ‘till the end of the week, for gas to get back and forth to work," said pawn shop owner, Gerald Costner.

Everything from high end jewelry, to name brand purses, and televisions… pawn shop owners say they are seeing it all come in. They say customers are frustrated and have no place to go to get extra cash for gas.

2. How about that fat CEO of Exxon give up some of his obscene

retirement package to compensate the consumers for the outrageous prices at the pumps? When pigs fly! While he amasses a huge pension, people are now working for gas money and having to sell their possessions. Hey Values Voters Had enough yet?
