No, our economy will crash as a result.
The pain would be worth it.
Our family budget couldn’t handle it for any extended period of time.
No. We will all cut back on all discretionary spending in order to try to put fuel in our cars and food on the table. Food prices will soar because farmers and truckers must raise their prices in order to survive. No one who drives or eats should vote for any Democrat candidates if this occurs.
We will do nothing by car. We will move on to bicycles for going to church. Dad will take his motorcycle to work and if need be will cycle there as well. There is even a bus that runs from our house to a half a block from his employer.
I can walk to the grocery store. With two kids and a wagon we can make it through the summer. In the fall, we will wait until the President with the R comes in January.
The factory here in Indiana will be on turbo production.

It depends, if it was American oil from American
wells bringing in 150 a barrel
it might not be too bad
I second your opinion
We may have zero choice in the matter.
This isn't a supply and demand problem, fuel is available- it is our money is being devalued, and people who sell oil want more of it because they know we are printing it.. - Tom
Zer0's campaign promise was high priced oil and electricity - so $150 barrel oil is just him accomplishing his goal, and placing the blame anywhere and everywhere else.
No.
Our family would need to re-work things and I’m guessing we would drop some frills like Direct TV and eat less meat yada.
The pups would need to give up their rawhide habit. :p
We have places we can cut but hopefully this isn’t long and drawn out because it would certainly take a toll on us.
I’m hoping for $8 gasoline just to get rid of Obunghole.
It will be a long hot summer with higher electricity rates and 8 bucks a gallon.
Of course Americans can handle whatever the price is. They are Americans not Dims. They would adjust their budgets, adjust their behavior and cut back where they had to.
The issue as you say is that this will slow the economy. Of course this problems is due to two sources:
1. The entire Dim party in the tanks for the socialist greens.
2. The GOP idiot Senators from Maine among other GOP Senators who blocked drilling in Anwar
One of Obama’s czars said that the goal was to have gas prices in America equal those in Europe.Looks like their plan is on track.
We handled it in 2008. It helped usher in President Barack Obama. What will it usher in or out this time around?
Obama is following Lenin’s saying, “The worse, the better,” (for creating the preconditions necessary for a communit coup.)
He just needs to dial it back enough to get reelected, so that he can finish the job.
B. Hussein will blame the rich people and George Bush for the price of gas. And all his brain dead, kool aid drinking supporters will moan and wail about how they can’t afford food or transportation because of the evil rich.
The hard-working taxpayer will just keep working hard, paying taxes and live a spartan life to try to keep up and pay their bills.
