I still think the $4.00 plus gasoline is what got the ball rolling. Many were living day to day on small incomes with mortgages. Their cost went up with fuel and food, making it hard for them to make ends meet.

There is also a over looked little nut called the Iraq war that is sending our deficit spiraling upward. But I guess if you or a loved one works for a defense contractor then all is cool. That is the circle of life... money wise.
