We are so screwed....
Elections swing on the price of food and gas, both of which are directly connected to the price of oil.
People couldn't afford to put gas in their car or buy groceries. No vacations and all discretionary spending goes for gas and food at inflated prices. The economy grinds to a halt.
At the same time panic hits the White Hut. Obumble makes speeches about how everyone should buy $46K exploding golf carts, and his fat a$$ wife is stuffing lobster and Wagu beef down her gullet.
The RATS lose in a landslide.
