That's it right there. My family is decidedly middle class (well, what's left of "middle class" anyway), and we're feeling it. I feel terrible for those who really can't make ends meet. We've been in the same shoes before, so I understand the stress.

It's strange, it's seems to be effecting young professionals more than you would expect. My good friend lost his job as an architect Friday. Rising costs of everything have slowed development, and therefore taken away much of his work. I know others who are in the same ship.

Then you go ahead & ramp up production of nuke power plants across the nation and we could be one of the most fuel/power independent countries in the world...

That's really the only way to make a difference that matters for the volume of energy required and as other countries around the world develop - but it'll take 5 to 20 years...

my dad wanted to do that once...... but he got worried that they would get pissed if he spent $150+ in company cash to keep all the cars topped off

I'm wishing for a another huge ass natural disaster to kill off a few million people. less mouths to feed, less asses to carry around. Sure would help fuel and food prices. Where's a pandemic when you need one?
