I don't know why I haven't heard this being mentioned...but aren't these extraordinarily high gas prices a national security issue? Consider the impact:
1. On our transportation industry (these are the trucks, trains, etc. that deliver our goods and services) and the higher fuel costs will be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher grocery prices (inflation). And alot of these Mom and Pop operations will not be able to withstand the onslaught and will fold
2. On Emergency Services
3. On the U.S. military and its ability to fight
4. On the average American travelling to and from work (higher gas prices means less spendable income)
5. Destroying thousands of jobs (the Obama administration giving a thumbs down to the Keystone Pipeline)
6. And, with higher gas prices you are, in effect, hobbling the free market system. Could we call this a form of economic terrorism?
