“calling the risks “manageable.”
This person may be able to pay $5 plus for fuel...
But the rest of us, you make fuel $4, you got the recipe for anarchy , and it will be by both sides of the political spectrum, and they (the feds) damn well know it.

It's not just the price at the pump, but everything else that needs gas/oil to make it to market. Just got back from the grocery store and prices are going up. Last week, I could afford roma tomatoes at .82/lb. Today, I refused to pay $2.32/lb. for the same roma tomatoes, nor did I buy any yellow squash at $2.48/lb. I did stock up on an American brand canned veggies that hadn't gone up - yet. From the looks of the shelves, others had the same idea. The cashier asked who all I was feeding and was shocked how long it took to get to $100 (went over that but it took a while). I look at it like this, prices are going up but my income isn't. Throw in the shape of the world and yeah, I'm gettin' while the gettin's good.
