Subject: Re: Any thoughts on crude oil and the economy???


The economy is based on fuel. If it goes up everything else goes up. In 2008 fuel skyrocketed the consumer quit spending an the economy tanked. I filled up my vehicles an tractors the other day. talk about expensive. No way the economy can survive a huge price spike in oil. Add this to the possibility off higher interest rates. Its spells disaster to me. I remember the eighties like yesterday.High interest rates high fuel prices. Many farmers went out off business at that time. It was so bad you could attend several farm sales a day for days on end. I hope for goodness sake that doesnt happen again but there are those cycles.
