Do what all good Conservatives do. Find a different job or start your own business instead of sitting on your butt whining about it demanding "the powers that be" fix it for you.
It's my wife and that is what she loves. She's been at it since 79. And I too cannot afford some of the luxuries Americans become accustomed to because of the hurt. I don't think it practical to tell everyone to quit their jobs and find greener pastures because they are getting raped at the pump. Sometimes the answer is somewhere in between.
Nope, what'll happen is what always happens. Sh1t rolls downhill until it hits bottom. Lawn guys, cable TV, and other marginal expeditures will be eliminated. The guy who'll take it the hardest is the guy at the bottom. The guy that can't put it on anyone else. People won't rip their lives up because their gas price doubled or their wife got a pay cut working with the airlines. They'll just put the little guy under instead. So tell Flores my lawn guy to get another job. He's the one that's going under.
