That's gonna kill a lot of people. At least when the economy tanked, gas prices did, too. Glad I don't have a long commute.
When oil comes up the economy will come up. More people should should think about that next time they cry about gas prices. Pay $4 gasoline and have a job.... or $2 gasoline with NO JOB.
I doubt all of the sudden everyone who has lost their jobs are gonna get them back or be able to find new ones. I know some people who have been unemployed for over 6 months, and they aren't just sitting on their butts everyday, they are looking for work.
It sucks for me, because when gas goes up, diesel does too, and I can't say how many of us dairy farmers are going to be able to stay afloat with $10 milk, and diesel that gets over $3 a gallon again, because funny how this is working, but groceries, other than milk, have not come down in price yet. I can fully see that if anything the rise in fuel will hurt more people than help.
Will it stimulate the economy? Don't think so, it didn't the last time around, and it won't this time either.
This is all about the greedy oil execs wanting to line their golden pockets even more, if the govt wants to do something they should focus their attention on the fuel crisis, that effects everyone.
