You can think of a thousand reasons why oil shouldn't be as high as it is. Speculators, evil oil companies, tree hugging hippies, opec, bush, gore, dems, repubs...global warming. In the end though, if you don’t have a plan in place to deal personally with $200-$300 oil, and $5-$10 gas, you're only screwing yourselves. How many of you said when oil was $30 that you'd never see $40, or $50, or $100. The market is what it is. Maybe everyone that advocates the virtues of the free market capitalism should listen to what it’s telling you. If the price of oil goes down after you've enacted whatever your new budget is, well great look at all that extra money you have. If the opposite happens...well…
You should all look up peak oil. Not sayings its here, but sometimes things make you go hmmmmmmm.
