These are all good! That is the optimists view. But, gas price IS driving everything up, big time, including vital items such as food.
I have one complain though, when we watch reports from news and magazines, it says "Oil at $4 a gallon" when we in Chicago are already paying more than $4.5! They say oil at $3 when we were paying $3.5. Why are the media so late? Or, why is Chicago more expensive than the average?
The Iran missiles don't help.
We also have outrageous 10%+ sales tax.
Folks we must adapt: drive less fuel hungry cars or drive less. But I don't know what to do about high sales tax.

Buy less; buy things online and have it delivered to your place (no sales tax). I haven't tried groceries online though.
Concerning what you can do about the high sales tax--next election I'm voting against everyone who supported the tax increase.
Not sure what else we can do...
