Gas Prices

I heard this morning that the price of a barrel of gas has gone below the $100 a barrel mark. Will that mean lower gas prices for us. I would be very surprised if it did. It seems that once it goes up, it stays up or goes higher, rather than coming back down. I really think we need to start drilling in this country as quickly as we can and get more refineries up and running. Talking about it just prolongs it and they need to start NOW. It is time to let the environmentalists walk. Take away their cars for awhile and see how they like it. I don't think they care a bit about the average person who is using grocery money for gas or spending their prescription medicine money on gas. Those on Social Security or limited income of any kind are really hurting and it is shutting down some really huge companies. They are killing our economy and there should be a way to get started when the United States has enough natural resources to provide enough for the country and sell to other countries. It just doesn't make sense to drag their feet on drilling.
