5. How soon after the 1979 revolution did the economy go into depression?
Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 12:40 PM by wuushew
It seems sometime between 1979 and 1981 when prices reached inflation equivalent prices of $5 a gallon a rather unpleasant economic downturn occured.

Was this simply the result of the extremely high interest rates of the time? Is Bush more tolerant of inflation than past administrations?

6. The sick truth is ...
... that we have paid artificially low fuel prices in this country for years ... at this point I don't know if it is even possible to reduce the cost.

Our resources are better directed toward fuel efficiency and the development (and marketing ) of new technology.

7. I think $3.00 per gallon will be the breaking point in the South.
We are at $2.35 (for reg) and everyone is complaining.
And in the North $3.00 for home heating oil will be very traumatic.
More than any other issue this will break Bush.

8. Keep that picture so you can remember how cheap it was 2 yrs from now.
I have gas receipt from the day I got married, filled up for 1.05, six years ago. Thought I was getting ripped off then too.... "over a dollar for gas!"

11. I remember gas wars in 1968
Down to 19 cents/gallon at one time, regularly 25 cents/gallon.

My grandmother complained when gas went to 30 cents.

But then again, her car only got 9 miles/gallon
