I still say that increased energy cost is the single most regressive thing that can hit an economy. It's more pervasive than a tax or a tariff. It hits at so many levels that it's a multiplier. It doesn't take genius to see it, which sure doesn't say much about the fools inhabiting positions in the current administration. And that certainly includes the clown at the Dept of Transportation concerned with his racist roads.
Like I said the other day...even the gov will have to cut $400B or raise taxes the same to maintain status quo. Going to be massively ugly. Yet defense concerns are getting grave with world events. Going to be interesting watching the radicals demand cuts to defense in the name of socialist spending. NATO will really get thrown under the bus. We need someone to come in with a chainsaw.
