Germany and other European countries have already figured out that producing gasoline from corn isn't going to work so they're switching to other meathods such as using weeds and other organic material not linked to our food supply suit that need. In the hope that it won't have the negitive effect of driving up the price of food product. Ironically using fuel from corn and such creats even more pollution. What now then?
Gas prices are never going to go down and people who have to commute on a dayly babses can see their checks shrinking I'm sure. Leaving less money for things they need and even less for things they want. Don't drive so much you may say and it makes sence. But it's not juast limited to the end user. The trucks, planes, ships that ship goods to us use gas or it's dirivitives aswell and they have to pass that cost onto the consumer sooner or later.
At first the rising fuel prices may have helped our country counter inflation, but there is a breaking point. Once people start spending all of their "exspendible" income on fuel they wont have money to spend elsewhere on nonessential crap. So they'll stop buying. People stop buying the usless crap buisnesses go under, less sales tax for cities and counties, fewer jobs....domino effect ya know?
So what do you guys think the breaking point is? Cheapest gas in these parts is $3.65 a gallon. It's not like on the 70's where there was a shortage. You can still get get gas, it's just a matter of being able to afford it. And with the price of everything else rising along with fuel it won't be long until everything grinds to a halt.
