[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 660983, member: 3306"] Four dollar gasoline won't magically make people get jobs. It will just make then have to decide whether to buy gas or pay the rent. And if you are fortunate enough to have a job, wages have gone down because there are so many people in the job market at the moment. My husband's plant took 230 applications last month alone. And it isn't a big plant. Those are ten dollar an hour jobs. You can't feed a family, pay the bills the rent [i]and[/i] four dollars for gas on that wage. And when fuel prices go up, the cost of production goes up, profits go down. Again, lose/lose, [i]except[/i] if you are an executive at Exxon Mobile. I fail to see why we can bail out AIG while common people are faced with terrible decisions about feeding and housing their children. [/QUOTE]
