"Is $120 oil even real?"
Of course it's not real. [It's over $125 now.] We've seen the wishful thinking behind that propaganda since before the 1st of December, when the "recession" was started with an early lock against hiring. The "recession" didn't work. It didn't bring freight fuel down or the dollar up.
Freight fuel is going up. So are prices of Asian products. It's time to start manufacturing more at home, to stop discouraging engineering education for Americans and to start allowing domestic competition again.

Expect any product that we get from Asia to have a 25% or higher increase in cost due to the price of oil. Its already happening in the furniture industry.
