All this talk of how the economy will withstand the surge in gasoline prices reflects one more instance of how nobody gets what really happens when things hit the everyday household. Folks, let's remember that most people aren't big-time Wall street traders here. They're everyday common people that live payday to payday and feel every penny that goes to higher prices. Do we not all see that there will be a ripple effect to high gas prices?

A bigger question yet.....Why don't we hear many folks from congress talk about this?
