THINK COLLAPSE IS A JOKE? Take a look what plummeting oil $$ is doing to Venezuela!

There is absolutely no reason this oil war or plummeting price will hurt the USA in the same way as Venezuela. In fact it will have the opposite effect for the majority of the USA other than in localities where oil and fuel is the main industry.

Low oil and fuel cost mean less cost for everything from harvesting, processing, manufacturing, delivery and more and more disposable income for the consumers of America as well. The average consumer in America who works and commutes a average of 30 miles a day to work and home now has between $50-100 more a month to spend and in a 2 income household $100-200 or more. Doesn't sound like a lot til you multiply it by a 10's of millions of workers.

This also allows the price of the goods and services we pay for to be reduced and money will dictate that through competition.

Venezuelans economy depends on oil export. Ours does not.

Having said that, we the people of the USA need to start rejecting cheap and inferior goods from china and some other countries who do not have mutual best interests in mind and begin becoming the manufacturing powerhouse the USA once was again that built the middle class's.

Unfortunately, that brings us farther away from the globalist agenda and thus will not happen.

You do realize that the Energy Sector, and supporting service industries, WAS the largest and fastest growing Manufacturing sector in the U.S. Economy...right?!?!?

In a country that has essentially exported the rest of it's manufacturing, Energy has been the ONLY bright spot in the U.S. Economy to this point...

Total and Utter Horseshit...

The Energy Sector and related service industries employ more than 35 Million people in this country, well more than 15% of the U.S. Workforce...

And those numbers were as of the end of 2012 which is the latest stats I can find, it's only grown since then...

First off, learn to read. I did not say US Workforce, I said population.

Second, you act as if all jobs in that sector will disappear. Last I checked the sky was not falling.

Third, the jobs that will be lost are minute compared to the numbers who will benefit and jobs that can be replaced/ created as a result. And once again, we're talking Avery small number of jobs in the grand scheme of things that would be lost because there is an essential amount needed in your deceptive lumped up sum for things to run, that is unless you think that industry would disappear and America will just turn off the lights and stop existing.

Currently under your job growth utopia we have record numbers in this country unemployed or underemployed and record numbers on food stamps and high energy prices are only helping to drive those numbers up.

And last, the benefit I'm talking about is for all. How many jobs have wee seen by the tens of thousands lost, due to all the high costs of goods and services in the past few years as fuel costs skyrocketed.

My god the model for what happens is in your face for the past 10 years and your blind to and arguing it.

Ridiculous .

Not to mention those energy jobs are good paying jobs, not minimum wage retail jobs, you lose those and you lose more consumer spending that you will ever gain buying bullshit manufactured in China, not to mention the credit expansion you lose, and the tax revenue...

That energy money trickles down through the entire economy, you're consumer utopia will not make up for that in any way shape or form...

You're so fucking wrong it's almost pointless to argue with you except for that fact that CNBC is also spewing this same bullshit...

Lol... You're so clueless it's funny and now getting rattled and spewing curses too. You want to suggest that I have any relationship in my attitude with cnbc now, lol.

I'm a job creating/ supplying conservative libertarian buddy. What are you again?

How many countries in the world who control and maintain as their main industry energy production have a free and prosperous population.

Take your time, I'll wait for the answer avoidance and more vitriol spew or maybe another bs flag...

Your a sky is falling socialism supporting fool and don't even know it because your blinded by selfish belief.

If energy becomes our biggest asset at high costs to our population we're fucked and will end up like all the other socialist countries who did the same.

Low energy costs for America and Americans means an real opportunity for manufacturing growth. Shut up with your buy more Chinese junk crap. I already said long ago we need to reject products from countries without our common best interest at heart.

Also, when we can produce goods at lower cost, we can compete with these countries more easily and break down the monopoly they currently hold.
