This is a real issue. It hurts our families. They have less money in their pocket and in the family budget because it has to be spent on gasoline. It is hurting businesses. Their profits are down.
Home building is down.
I don't know. What a tragedy that will be. It should not happen. Our projections are and our needs as a nation are to continue this prosperity, to continue the surplus we have been able to generate in this government, and to pay down our debt and to be able to do some things we wish we could have done before. This is a glorious time for us.
