Comments on: Gasoline… Why Everyone Has It Wrong http://negative99.com/jovial-cynicism/gasoline-why-everyone-has-it-wrong/ An onslaught of expository excellence covering web design and development, politics and current events, faith and religion, guitar and music, programming... oh, and anything else.

I took some classes in that, too. :-) I actually "concentrated" in Economics... which I guess is like a "soft" minor in a curriculum. I took intro, macro, and micro... and truth-be-told it really helps cut through the media hype of marketplace hysteria. @Jim Bisnett Thanks for stopping by. If I was going to have a benefit concert the proceeds would go directly Haliburton. :-) @John3Sobieski

I like your style. A man who plays guitar and understands finance. I play metal guitar... maybe we could put on a concert to support Exxon family workers. LOL. Take care and keep on jammin!

And this is both a factor, and a non-factor, in the debate. Due to gas's inelasticity the supply and demand curve for the fuel contribution to the price of products gets passed on to consumers... who then need to buy less so that the prices on THOSE products stabilize to a new steady state. I wrote this article 2 years ago.. I think it needs freshened. :-) @Jim

Everything bought and manufactured has an energy cost built into it's price. Inflation is the bigger issue. Gas prices have a higher effect than just limiting a family vacation.

He hit the nail on the head I mean we all complain about gas prices but like he said will have Burger king or mcdonalds in the front seat. I we just stop eating out as often America wouldnt be as obese as it is and we would not complain about the prices of gas because we would not need to go to fast food joints.

Tickets to movie theaters cost 10 cents. The government, as part of the WWII war effort put a 1 cent tax on the tickets. Everyone was POed. When I'm a grandfather, and gas costs 40 bucks a gallon, I'm going to tell my grandkids about how everyone panicked when gas prices jumped from 3.80 to 4.10. Then, they'll be just like me when I heard grandma's story. "Thirty cents? Thats It? Whoopdy doo." Point, gas prices don't really matter at this moment. They won't be at a true crises point for a good long time. After all, no one complains about 10 dollar movie tickets.

That Walter Williams is a brother that's always on his 'A' game. I love reading his insights... and that article is right on the money (pardon the pun). Great find, Christina! Great article!
