So today I heard something from a crazy old man that Made to much sense?

Today i was depositing money into my checking account and a Crazy old man we call CrossBear started to talk to me. This man has no teeth, thinks he is an indian and basically lives on the streets. He brought up something in our convo that kept me thinking. He started to explain to me how the US will begin to implode on itself.

Here is his theory, within the next few years if gas prices keep rising, maybe to $5-7 a gallon no one will be able to afford to drive really. Car insurance companies will make no money because no one will insure a car they arent going to drive. Work will be slower, truckers wont be able to afford the trip, mailing prices will go up. and eventually Our great country will begin to eat itself alive all because of Oil companies and their GREED.

Thoughts?

The real problem with the debate over offshore drilling is that it’s a huge distraction from real solutions within a reasonable period of time.
Focusing on producing more oil is great, but what’s been missing from U.S. energy policy — since the Vice President preemptively dismissed it as “a personal virtue” — is conservation. The quickest way to supply a new barrel of oil to meet growing world demand is to figure out how to not use that barrel.

Said another way: producers don’t control prices, consumers do. If we all cut consumption, prices will fall. It’s happened before, and there’s absolutely no reason it can’t happen again.

Unfortunately, too many consumers in the US are happier to dismiss the demand side of the equation, blame greedy speculators or entertain delusions of oil industry price manipulation. (Never mind that Big Oil only controls only about 10 percent of global production — there are plenty of “documentaries” on YouTube “proving” that a price conspiracy is alive and well.)

Unless and until the public comes to terms with the true causes of the problem, it’s going to be hard to generate political support for real, effective solutions.

Oh no by no means am i trying to start a Revolution or anything. I take things on as they come to me, i dont open up my can of worms before i need to use them. I am a strong conservative republican. Our government just needs to take ahold of this oil undustry and regulate them to a certain extent
