“Gas is cheap.”

I agree gas is cheap for what it does and compared to the alternatives and as a part of the aggregate spend. What is crazy is what happens when we export petro-dollars. It causes all kinds of problems with our economy and monetary system. And causes the entire economies of some parts of the Country to become welfare mothers living off gubmint handouts.

I agree gas is cheap

I disagree that gas is cheap, and the consequences of insanely priced gas are even less cheap. I have stopped buying almost everything but energy and food, and I would guess many in my income bracket have done the same.
