How did you arrive at that conclusion from a bunch of links?

1. The title is designed to shock and even uses that word explicitly.

2. Everything you said deals with a future contingency, not reality.

If you are one of those people who like dealing with future contingencies, you can engage today into plenty of action without dragging into this activity the "unsuspecting citizens" here on FR: trade oil futures.

In sum you pose a question of speculation as if it were a question of economics. There is no new information in your post but a great deal of emotion-provoking "facts."

My apologies to backhoe for your lack of vision. Backhoe's links portray genuine concerns the average voter has, particularly the swing voter. Backhoe reminds us of the dust covered solutions that conservatives have been offering in a new light. It was well done, a great issue Bush could run with. And besides, I personally believe that low oil prices create jobs, which is why I bookmarked it.
