from what i understand, the US has always had the lowest gas prices. and we still do. now i may be wrong, but thats what ive been interpreting from what i read. everybodys just bitching cause we dont get our way anymore, and this may also spark some ideas to finally increase gas mileage and lessen dependence on foeign countries for oil. ever wonder why a lot of the cars in europe are diesels/small displacement engines/small cars/no suvs? its cause gas actually costs more.

as far as the economy, there have been several past recessions, and since 1929, weve always come back from it. theres also inflation, ****s always goin up in price in general. there have always been hard times, everywhere. they are inevitable.

but to answer your thread, i think it would be a great idea to visit another country for a little while. meet other cultures and experience other styles of life, and different aspects of your former country from other standpoints(there would be no biased views). maybe even learn some new languages.
however, i wouldnt base your decision solely off of the economy and gas prices.
just make sure youre pretty financially stable in the case that you decide to take a trip.


by the way you should have posted this in wallstreet. now that its in the WL, this is likely the only legitimate response you will get, though there will be many BS ones.
