Oh just wait for summer gas prices.
We’re in for fun.
Obama’s fault!!
4 bucks a gallon destroyed the outer suburbs of Phoenix.
Looks like one of those barf alert articles drummed up by the liberal media to try to put the blame on those rich oil Barron republicans. If I’m correct the article was created by public radio, a front for the liberal lieing democrats.
This...this story is on “publicradio.org”? Public Radio!?!
Have they forgotten that “High Gas Prices” stories are only acceptable for airing when a Republican is in the Oval Office? It’s in the Leftist Media Handbook, right under the same rule applying to stories about the homeless.
Mortgages were approved for people who couldn’t afford them. Unexpectedly gas prices made them still not affordable. </sarcasm>
It would sure be nice to know what the real cause of the run up in oil prices was in the summer of 08. For me the that was the source of ignition for the current situation were in. I suspect there were political motives and operatives involved.
Paid $2.65 a gallon today....few year ago over $4....is this one of them “woman and children hit hardest”? I’m neither.
Long distance commuters need to wise up and get one of those little tin can shrinky dink cars.

It’s about the cheapest car you can buy and except for hybrids it’s about the best gas mileage out there.
The reason I ask is because I've been looking for some (reputable ones, I should add) since this whole mess started.
For those unfamiliar with the timeline, it was $4/gal gas in late Summer 2008, and Lehman folds in early Fall 2008. I'm not saying that one caused the other, but I suspect there is some sort of a correlation.
Gas prices drive up foreclosures no problem. Cap and Trade will fix that.
Yes, we are an oil based economy.
The price of oil/gas affects the cost of absolutely everything else.
Well DUH! They just figured this out? When the dems took control of Congress gas prices were in the upper range of 1.70+ depending on where you lived. Shortly afterwards they started to rise. When people bought their homes and knew what their budget was when gas was $1.70 a gallon but not when it rose into the $4 range. With the extra spent each day and count in the rise in prices from the gas prices rising = not able to afford their home anymore.
