Gas prices

I am just astounded at these gas prices like I am sure most of the country is. I just think about the trickle effect downwards and I get real nervous. It really wants me to pull out of society for a very simple life. I can walk to work or ride my bike and I do this from time to time if KC is not going to daycare. My husband can not escape gas prices his livelihood depends on it. Since beginning of summer he has been on the negative side a majority of the evenings this is including weekends. We have to eat. I have always been pretty resourceful when it came to saving money on groceries since I plan my meals. I am sure groceries will be affected; someone has to pay the gas for the food to get there. Convenience is costing us an awful lot. I understand economics but I am having a really hard time accepting the politics.
