Initially higher fuel prices hurt the poor and lower middle class. Upper middle class and above did not feel the pain. Since October to today the same business owners and upper class individual have acknowledged they are hurting. Without the ability to spend money even the more affluent employee cannot make ends meet. There is no money to be made. All classes are hurting. If we have to live like this for another six months there is going to be mass exteria like the great depression. Poor people will survive because they are used to having nothing.
What are the police and fire department to do for fuel? Everyone who is against pumping our own oil and refining it answer me this. How do you keep the country safe and secured? With prices sky rocketing towns and states will have to cut funding to other services to maintain fuel for emergency vehicles. Where do we get the fuel for our farmers? For the amount of food farmers need to produce returning to horses will not work. How do people continue to go to work in construction and shipping manufactured goods? My list can go on and on.
