I'm just curious about this... now that it's pretty clear the rising gas prices are not because of Bush's Big Oil friends, but because of OPEC and what's happening in the Middle East. It's pretty obvious what our foreign policy is going to be there, so I am just wondering, how do the Democrats plan to rescue the economy when gas tops $10 a gallon?
The way I see it, this is going to be difficult at best, and I don't believe the voters are going to buy that it's the fault of Republicans or GW Bush... so, you better be thinking of something quickly! As the price of fuel rises, it's common sense that consumer goods are going to rise proportionally in price, along with the inflation we're already seeing because of 'quantitative easing' by the Feds.
I guess we can remain in denial a little while longer, but eventually, even the dumbest of the dumb are going to catch on here. Markets are all still fairly good at the moment, but that will likely change as well. It's about to get really bad across the board, I am afraid, and Democrats seem to be a bit flat-footed on this, no one is even talking about it. Shouldn't we be developing a "plan" for when we have gas that no one can afford?
