Better Than the Depression? Don't Kid Yourselves

Just my two cents:

Oil prices put us in this mess - not bad loans. I don't know about everyone else, but compared to May-September I now have $140 more a month now that gas prices have dropped. That's $140 more to spend/save as I like (that may have been the unfortunate difference where people could pay or not pay their mortgage) and put back into the economy. As long as oil keeps around historic averages and the American people don't panic and stop spending (sending us into a quicksand vortex that has already begun) we can climb back out of this recession.

The more people panic, the less they spend. The less they spend, the more companies that go out of business. The more companies that go out of business, the more people lose jobs - AND - the more money the government loses (as stated above in the article). Get the idea?

The quicker the United States comes up with an energy solution, the quicker we get out of a recession and start creating new jobs and also saving money (and our planet). Self reliance is key for this nation - UNITED WE STAND!
