WSB, via Hannity, reporting that a urban legend is going around about gas shortages, causing a panic in people, who are rushing to gas stations. Reporter said regular gas prices at one station was above $4.
Household debt isn't the big number. The annual interest payment on household debt is more important. IIRC, mortgage rates in 1980 were around 11%...and housing was therefore not too affordable. I have friends in CA who used to bitch endlessly about morgage payments back in the 80's. I haven't heard that complaint in a long time.
Here in Connecticut, gas prices have been as high as most quoted here for months.
The public reaction counts more than the price.
Panic reports sound so scripted by Al-Jazeerah & friends, facilitated through the liberal "omg" American media, probably verbatim.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't stock up on the really important things.
I was actually being facetious...
LOL!
Good point, but something tells me these people won't be visting any real estate agents in Miami Beach, San Francisco, or Malibu when they get their claim checks.

If so, they were carrying gasoline.
And the economy will be suffering for it. Just think business are now going to have to spend a lot more money to ship items on trucks. That means higher prices for consumers, and that means less profit. I would not mock it if I were you..
Just saw on John Gibson's show $5.00 in Atlanta! The media is driving the price up with their shortage panic scenario!
rotflmao...............
I heard a different rumor.
Looters were seen hauling it away.
Adjust for inflation and hand over your wallet.
So congestion is caused by too many people driving? Or is it caused by refusing to reinvest and invest in more roads?
The generator or the rig? :-P
i think everyone needs to calm down. This to shall pass. I even notice that freepers are getting edgy with each other including myself....For that I apologize.
Can we get that on a Bumper Sticker?
Better suggestion thsn car pooling.....ride a bike! Cuts down on global warming also! (Sarcasm!)
