As a wholesale food distributor, I can guarantee you the restaurant
business nosedived. And it has not yet recovered.

All tourist business, including ski resorts, golf resorts, and the theme
parks felt the hit. But so didn't local restaurants, churches, and
movie houses.

expensive and driving there became more expensive, people quit going as

dried up.
It still has not recovered. And this is not going to help.

I think that's got some merit to it.
Fuel priced affect everything. Especially food.

Tom and I are reading from the same hymnal, if not quite from the same
page.
I really would like to see a graph, over 40 years, of gasoline prices v.
the health of the economy. I have looked for such a graph with no luck.
But I do believe that rising gasoline prices suck the lubrication out of
the economy, causing friction, smoke, and possibly fire.
It is just a belief. I haven't the data to back it up. But I do
believe that Tom has got this just about right.

It was $4.12 in the summer of 2008. How conveniently we forget.

The ever helpful media jump on Newt's claim, not knowing what the
hell
he's talking about.
which just goes to prove his point - followers of conservative media
all knew that Obama voted 4 times in the Illinois legislature to
allow
infanticide for abortion survivors, but mainstream media would
rather
you didn't know, and never asked him about it.
the commenters at that politico story show exactly what I mean - the
obama backing media want the national conversation to be about
religion, contraception and abortion, because if it's about the
economy, Obama loses big.
