I'm not feeling bad about those new Japanese motorcycles in my garage. They get 42 to 78 MPG. Using the bikes in fair weather will save money on fuel immediately and save wear/tear on my 4x4 vehicles now that the car companies have gone down the crapper. I will repair/maintain the 4x4 vehicles as long as possible. No new vehicle purchases. Especially not from government owned/controlled car companies.

The impact of high priced oil on the rest of the economy is going to be a major kick in the shins. We survive/thrive on cheap oil. Raise the price and our economy tanks. What a very different economy we have since the days of $10/bbl oil before Clinton sent Bill Richardson to the Middle East to screw things up. It couldn't have worked better for Clinton as oil prices rose rapidly in early 1999. Just in time to screw up the economy for the next President. The RATS seized control of both House and Senate in 2006. That set the stage for more manipulation to drive up oil prices. Killing the options to drill for our own oil while world demand rose made it easy to tilt the elections against the Republicans in 2008. Bush was blamed for the rotten policies of the RATS controlling Congress.

Written like a man who doesn't have any kids left at home. For the rest of us poor saps, we're screwed.

My DH got a motorcycle for Father’s Day.

We homeschool and don’t have to go anywhere but to church. He can drive the new bike to work and park his truck at home.
