I see a potential problem with oil prices going down... high enough oil prices would have driven up the cost of transporting goods from overseas and reduced some of the outsourcing... leading to jobs coming back here.

I wonder if lower transportation costs will lead to more outsourcing and more imports?

Well, I am enjoying the lower gas prices, but they are still higher than they were when that arrogant pos occupant was inaugurated for his first term

The US economy booms when imports are highest. It means that foreigners are giving us actual useful things, real goods in exchange for pieces of paper denominated US currency with our dead presidents on them. I’ll trade paper for food, services and goods all day long.
