I'm so tired of and lost a lot of respect for Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. For a Harvard graduate, he's really turned into quite a dumbass regarding the imaginary issue of price gouging. Anyone who has a problem with price gouging would do themselves a favor by taking a quiz at the Mises Institute. I highly recommend stopping by and checking this quiz out. It'll take a few minutes, they immediately email your results, and they promise not to add you to any list unless you specifically ask for it.

Now the stores that have stuff (products for sale) have to pay the transportation companies more money so they increase their prices also. At the same time a company with X number of employees cannot increase the pay of said employees in order to make up for the inflation that is sure to follow, and may in fact have to lay of some employees. If the price of fuel had increased more incrementaly over a longer period of time, it would not have such a negative impact, but I fear we have not seen all the repercussions yet of the oil price increases of this summer. Just my opinion, I am whining because it costs me almost 2 gallons of gas just to go to work everyday, and I have to go home too. 4 gallons times $2.60 = over $10 a day, times 5 days = $50 a week or $200 a month, this bites into expendable income I would have used to go out to eat, watch a movie, buy my son a new toy etc.... money those businesses are now not getting to support their employees.
