High gas prices are here to stay,
its the only way to save America.
It will hurt for a bit but its the only way to keep our jobs here.
The Chinese can build some thing for $1. that cost us a $100. to build. But If it cost $100. in shipping to get here, then the American made part is now cheaper.
I am near the motor city , and we are seeing a small boom right now. Many shops are on over time again, and the big 3 is now paying the tool&die shop's 20% extra on there parts if they get the job done ahead of schedule.
Maybe when the middle-east calms down, we will see a small dip on oil, but in a voodoo-economic way it would be better for all of us in the long run if gas was $5.00 a gallon.
We would be forced to buy local and keep our jobs here.
