The biggest issue no one is talking about is the lateral effect of the fuel rise…
If the American people are being sucked dry at the pump this will ultimately affect there behaviors and effect allot of businesses that depend on travelers and tourism.
i.e. If I spend $90 for one fill up I’m not driving up to Burlington VT to go fishing for the weekend rather stay local… so all the business’s I would have visited aren’t getting my money.. Sorry corn guy at the gorge sorry bait shops sorry roadside motel Sorry greasy road side dinners … I have to fill my tank…….

Besides needing a truck to work people are going to be more tempted to buy smaller economical cars.. some automotive company truly depend on consumers to purchase there big fun trucks… but who wants to spend a $100 at the pumps at every fill up

So in turn shoot me flame me if you want but I’m going to say it Bush needs to get off his A$$ and do something before this subtle change starts costing people jobs and closing more mom and pop’s little place’s… maybe this could be the one thing he could do to release the title I put on him as worse president we ever saw…
