The world economy dies at about 200 a barrell, if not sooner. Folks won’t go anywhere or buy anything they don’t absolutely have to. And they’ll buy less of that.

I agree. Most folks I know are already in that cautious mind set regarding gas prices and the future of our economy. If it get's worse than $4 or 5$ a gallon, everyone will become a doomsday prepper, and withdraw completely from spending, and start thinking about survival. The economy will just die.

[C. Edmund Wright]

If not a doomsday prepper, they’ll at least become a hunker down and waiter....people who make these predictions clearly do not live in the real world. They act like its just “pain at the pump” without realizing it is devastation and the very foundation of our economy and our liberty.

About two years ago I mentioned to my wife that if everyone spent their money the way we do, the economy would die in a week.
