GAS...in your area again!!!

Things that don't fit anywhere else...

Postby caseydog » Sun Nov 23, 2008 12:39 pm

I haven't heard anyone predicting another great depression. This current situation is being called "the worst crisis SINCE the great depression," and based on sheer losses, I'd say that is fair. It will surely surpass the S&L crisis an 1990-1991 recession (which we apparently learned NOTHING from).

Banks have gone from lending to anyone with a pulse, to hoarding money. Consumers have gone from spending more than they earn, to spending most of what they earn, which hurts retailers.

The economy will recover, but it's going to take some time. If you have a 401K or stock portfolio that has lost value, you haven't actually lost MONEY unless you sell off parts of it. It will eventually crawl back up to where it was.

One GOOD thing that has come out of this is that we've seen how reducing demand for Gasoline can effect the price of Gasoline. If we want to see it spike again, we can all go out and buy some big new SUVs, which will also help GM, Ford and Chrysler rebound -- and keep putting off new product development until the next crisis.

Who knows, maybe we'll also run a big wooden stake through the heart of supply-side economics after this recession. :thinking:

BTW, I paid $1.80 for Premium yesterday at Kroger with my ten-cent discount.

Today my wife filled up at safeway. 16 gallons for less than $5.00. How is this possible you say. Well, they give you a 10 cent/gal gas credit every time you spend $100 on groceries. Her sister lives where there is not a safeway gas station and they share the telephone number for the safeway club card. We don't have one in town either, so the credits build up. she had a $1.40/gal credit and gas was $1.67

That was a nice bonus!
