The downward chain reaction coming from gas prices is effecting lower income families more so then the upper income families. The gas price's are having a bigger effect on people then most realize. This will turn people into criminal's.Everyone is talking about how it effect's them and everyone is different.Some people have friend's and family to help out in a time of need and those who have nobody are in trouble.
There are families that are having to chose between a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk. Milk will feed your baby but gas will get you to work. What parent could make that choice. That is when some minds go on survival mode. How many people's mind's go where they should not. Would you steel to feed your baby? I would. I am not a bad person but I would do what I had to do. Gas is causing a domino effect on a family and their life styles. People are suffering from depression trying to cope with this issue. The next thing you see is people self medicating the depression. Self medicating is not cheep.
If you get on the spiral leading down and you do not have the means to fix it, this could end up bad. Fix the gas problem and it might just have a chain reaction in an upward pattern. We hear people talking about how bad the prices are but we are not hearing how it effects each person individually. The lower income based families are hurting in such a great way that it just might be to hard to overcome. This world is made up of so many different kinds of people and something like gas price's is effecting each one in different ways. I can see the great depression coming or is it a greater depression.
