One thing we might all do to help out our borderline recession and the high price of gas is to BUY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS ONLY. A major factor of the high price of gas is a booming economy in both China and India (2 of the most populous countries in the world). Many of the workers there are buying cars for the first time and busy factories are using large amounts of fuel to operate. American demand for oil has been almost the same for the last 5 years. Buying product made here will put money back in our economy so stockholders will have something to invest in (instead of commodities) for example: crude oil and it will also reduce the amount of fuel these foreign countries need to run their factories. They simply won`t be as busy. In turn employees there will not be able to afford cars if they`re not working as much. I`m sorry about sacrificing their economies but our economy needs fixing...bad.......and fast! Stocks are down ,inflation is up, and the last time I checked employers are not giving cost of living increases commenserate with inflation (especially the price of gas). Sorry about the eco-political rant but this issue is important. Do you think gas prices will ever go back down to a more affordable level? Usually when prices go up, they don`t ever come back down.
