Trust me, I believe this gas price crisis that's hitting nationwide is going to be the un-doing of the Republicans in the White House and Congress unless genius Karl Rove finds a way to spin it as the Dems fault. There's basically 3 things people always want either kept as is or improved and that's their retirement, their religious representation, or their taxes. Voters want what's in their best interests. I don't think these elevated gas prices are in America's best interests, and they're of a direct result of Katrina (no one's fault) and the war overseas.
What people haven't fully realized yet is that this gas price hike is going to cause a lull in the economy because of the fact that most people travel to spend their disposable income which greases the wheels of a successful economy. With elevated gas prices, either less will be used and people won't travel as much to spend their disposable income to help the economy, or usage will stay the same or increase, then all of our respective disposable incomes will decline, causing less money to be spent to grease the wheels of the economy. This has far more encompassing effects than "It takes me too much to fill up my gas tank".
