What we like

As Americans I think we can all agree on one thing. Cheap gas is good. No, not just good, but a very great thing. Our 401ks may be in the toilet. Unemployment is creeping up and up. Milk is approaching $4.00 a gallon. You don't hear an outcry over those things. Oh sure we moan about it amongst ourselves, but you don't see the public outcry the way you did over $4.00 a gallon gas. The letters to the editors page use to be full of writers expressing outrage over gasoline prices. Lose 80 percent of your 401ks value and apparently that isn't nearly as catastrophic as $4.20 a gallon gas.
