“...Job growth is brisk. Paychecks are finally nudging up. And a surprise drop in gas prices has given the average household an extra $700 a year.”
WoW! What a crock of poop!
My business is related to the oil industry and my products sell nationally. I’ve been around for a very long time and have survived the oil recessions of 1982, 1986 and now, entering another here in 2015.
This idiot who wrote “growth is brisk, paychecks are finally nudging up and etc.......” has absolutely no idea to which he addresses.
Why doesn’t he go ask the oil related industries, workers and all who sell to their employees just how wonderful it is in Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Montana, and other states where drilling is coming to a near complete stop. And where the hell does this genius come up with this $700.00 savings calculation.
This is nothing more than “feel good stew” to slop the public with. Just wait, the damage to the oil industry will come to see all soon.
I commute 160 miles a day. The price drop was huge for me.
