Yeah! the Economy Rocks!!!!!

since when does the price of oil dictate how well or poorly our economy is doing? this idiotic fear mongering has to stop.

I'm guessing, just guessing, but i think he's implying that perhaps Bush might not be 100 percent realistic when he says that the "economy is doing great." (As shown by the link that talks about how poorly the economy is doing...)

Ya gotta stop being so crpytic innervision, its really is confusing.

or people are just too stupid to see what he means.
 
no it isnt doing great. it isnt doing bad either, especially given that a lot of the reasons for the rise in gas prices is out of our control. especially out of president bush's control. what people expect him to be able to do about these things is beyond me.
 
Since Bush got into power though its been doing pretty bad.

QFE. Oil crisis looms, me thinks! Oh well, crisis has always "fueled" ingenuity.

Yeah, I can see how that can change things a lot. That's almost like saying my cat has been having odd bowel movements since I started using gel in my hair.
 
So I was at the gas station earlier today and I asked the attendant how much the gas was, and he looked at me and said: "about three-fiddy". Well it was about that time that I realized that he wasn't the gas station attendant, he was the damn loch-ness monster!

OT:

Well realistically, high gas prices in Europe have a much smaller effect on their economies in comparison with America. The majority of Americans live in the suburbs and typically have at least a 20-30 minute commute via car, where as in Europe a much higher percentage commute via walking or public transportation. It all evens out really.
 
Bush is/was a goon and Kerry was a goon as well. Neither were good candidates for the country. On T.V. many countries wanted Kerry to win, but the arabian countries were happy as f**k that Bush won. Bush, in my opinion, is mr. der der derrrrrr and doesn't know wtf he's doin. I agree that Bush is ruining the economy and it's only going to get harder for us young people (I'm almost 20...a few more weeks). Gas is $1.65 where I live which is expensive as s**t. We took over Iraq, where's the oil from that? Bush is probably keeping it for himself. One last thing about Iraq, i think we should've left after we mowed Iraq and found Saddam. We aren't doin much cept sitting there waiting to get attacked. If Bush was smart, he'd try to get out of Iraq. What happend to the Roman Empire? Oh yea...they grew really large which was good, but lost to barbarians that kept attacking. Same thing with U.S., our influence is seen all over but the "Barbarians"/Arabian countries are attacking left and right.
 
Honestly...I am glad gas prices are raising. This gives gas alternatives a chance to enter the market and we can stop using oil so much. Petrol fuel alternatives would be amazing to get into the economy and make a big hit.

Whilst it has a few conspiratorial factors I don't agree with, it's essentially right, in that the US is fighting to save the dollar by fighting to save the oil market.
 
Our economy is ****ed. :( Can't wait till we finally drain up all the oil!

*Hug*


And to those who think i'm fear mongering, i was hoping that my little "the end is nigh bitches" comment would have lightened the mood a little, but thas just me... Thats how I roll...
 
Those who don't think the economy is dependant on oil are completely out of their mind.

There'll always be dregs of oil, but the prices will get to be $1 million a barrel that it won't be feasible anymore.

Me agree's. 40 odd pecent of the energy industry is oil based, which creates a massive amount of dependancey, Its a critically large chunk of the modern corporate 'world' economies resource and investment.

But we have succesful hydrogen car hybrid's and hydrogen fuel cells that work, people will have to implement the new technologies if they want to attempt to keep the economy rolling, target deadlines for mass production of hydrogen cars fall around 2015, and plug in fuel & electric hybrids which are ridiculously efficient at upto 250 miles per gallon. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/08/16/tech/main781291.shtml?cmp=EM8707
 
Oil doesn't last forever. Perhaps if we do away with petrol based fuel we do away with our dependancy on it. Higher oil prices means more people get in the market of finding and selling petrol fuel alternatives. Hooray!
 
I'm sure they'll develop an alternative energy source...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that we're running out of oil.

Anyway, I just saw this and think it applies to the topic lol

The problem is none of the petrol alternatives are even close to being able to replace oil, except coal, but we really don't need to f*ck up the environment anymore.
 
You guys can always invade Canada next and take our oil...of course you would have to spend many many Billions of dollars trying to get it because it's under 500 feet of bedrock....We got lots of oil...just no way of getting to it. :(
 
The bad thing about hydrogen, is it takes oil to get it. Or we could install alternate energy generators and electrolysis it.

And then move about three inches and have to refuel.

Are you kidding me? It has everything to do with it. Look at your own personal economic situation. In 2001 I was paying at most $45 a week for gas driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima. This year I drive a Dodge Dakota (just slightly worse gas milage) and I payed $150 last week. Thats $600 a month I have to pay to take care of my business. Thats about $400 that isn't going in to our local economy but instead in to a middle eastern country.

This is not a crisis yet as other countries pay A LOT more for gas but Republicans don't even want to address the problem.

Everything from shipping & travel to actually heating or cooling a building is reflected on oil prices and it has everything to do with our economy. Give it a couple more years and we will truely be ****ed if you guys don't admit there is a problem with the way we deal with oil.
