Gas Prices Update

It's an economic fact that as gas prices rise, people's expendable income falls, because everyone buys gas. When people are paying more for gas, they spend less on other things, and the economy suffers. Ask Ford how well their business is doing when SUV sales fall 56% in one year, that's one example. There is no upside to high gas prices except for the Chairman of oil companies and the shareholders of their stock, the US economy and all its citizens take the beating. It makes our enemies in the Middle East and Hugo Chavez richer. High oil prices help the economies of the countries who sell the stuff, not the people of the countries buying it.
Man, I can spot a lib a mile away.

The price of oil is a Net loss for businesses, it part of the price of doing business. When it costs more to run your business, your profits fall, I don't see how that helps the economy. Would it help the economy if the price of electricity also increased by 50% over a 2 year period?
I'll demolish that statement all day, I'm just getting warmed up. :lol:

True, you were very proper in your condescention towards Melt.
I think Speedin just wants to avoid a war in here, which I agree with.
But since this is my thread, I felt I could respond to something I didn't agree with. And if we can all have a civil discussion on the subject in here, I don't see why not.

if u look at it this way, we are paying higher for gas/oil etc...but they mostly from other countries, we are tapping the rest of the world's oil supply will preserving our own, it is better for us in the long run. i dont see a 1-2 more in gas prices effects the majority of the population, i spend money the same way i did when gas prices were 1.25 on if not lower. many employers also gave their employees raises to help with the cost of gas also. ppl make such big deal about it. if they cant afford gas they prolly cant efford as to buy alot of other things.
