Is the spike in gas prices good for America?

The average price of gasoline at the pump in the U.S. last week was $4.58 a gallon. It will doubtless spike up to $5.00 before too long as it is already above $6 in California.

U.S. gas prices are cheap compared to Europe. If you fancy traveling to London for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the price is $5.79; if you love Paris in the springtime, it’s $5.54; and if you want to see the pope, Rome is $5.96. Some countries you might like to visit are even higher.

Americans have long taken cheap gas as a foregone conclusion, and have been profligate in its consumption.


No fuel for the farmer's tractor. No fuel for the semitruck delivering baby formula. Let's cut this elite SOB off and make him learn the lifestyle of a hunter gatherer.

Only if it brings back Trump, and drains the swamp.

Sure it is. Let’s hope it goes to $20.00 a gallon. That would be fricken great!

High gas prices are good for the Dims, their cronies in Big Oil, and their ally Putin.

“But in the long run, an inflated price for gasoline is, I would argue, good for the environment. It may encourage people to take carpools to work, to bicycle and walk more. This will improve health and welfare.”

And if you bike to work through certain parts of the city you will have to pedal a little faster to avoid gang banger shoot outs and agressive homeless folks.

Too many people only think of fuel prices in relation to filling up their gas tanks. They have no idea how intricately woven energy prices are throughout everything that our economy is based on.
