I don't know that I would worry overly much about gas. Every time our people have been squeezed, geniuses have popped up all over the place. $180 a barrel is pretty tight squeeze. Matter of fact, we got to the height of civilization we have now by way of squeezed geniuses.

Right. Why worry? It's not like Americans need to drive to work. It's not like our goods are shipped in trucks.

Yes, a tight squeeze. Remind me what that squeeze in 1973, when oil quadrupled, did to our economy. Did our squeezed geniuses finally build the nuclear powered car? Or did we just go into a recession? That won't be a problem because we'll have all the new sneaker making jobs to boost the economy, right?
