While most economists see falling fuel prices as beneficial for the vast majority of consumers

Oil producers use steel for pipes, made in America by Americans. They use sand for fracking, mined in America by Americans. They transport pipe and oil on trucks and trains, all driven by Americans.

What a deal!
