Are rising gas prices the new silent killer?

Are you prepared to spend $4 per gallon for gas?
If not, get ready because that's on our horizon.
Just think about what great news this is to our so called enemies. It's a new form of terrorism. Strike out at the masses where it hurts most. Imagine the impact that a long term gas crisis will have on our economy. Next, think about where we might be at if we weren't in this ridiculous war in Iraq, that we are now fighting practically alone. And all the while, Bush gets to have lengthy vacations, and it becomes news when he cuts one of those short by a few days.
It'll be interesting to see what happens in the coming months.
There's been talk about a nationwide trucking strike which could last up to 2 weeks. Basically, the cargo transport biz is really taking a hit, and many truckers are now seeing their income dwindle to the point of nearly working for free.
Is this the America we all worked so hard for?
I don't think so...
