Once it gets high enough, all that cheap foriegn crap we buy wil not be cheap foreign crap any more. It will be expensive foreign crap that takes as much money to ship as it would cost to make it in America.

There was no problem with saying no to the pipeline as it was. TC should have done a better job up front. Arrogance on their part. The pipeline is already being built and they'll put together a plan that works. A Republican in office would likely have done the same thing, but it's been politicized so few people really know much about it.
The pipeline is NOT being built. Only a small portion, which was already approved anyway. Obama has taken credit for that (no surprise).

A Republican in office would have approved the entire project.

Devaluation of the US dollar makes gas higher as well as everything else.

$ 3. 97 a gallon here in SE Pa. I was driving by just as they were changing the prices higher. It made me think about driving to a particular grocery store and restaurant some 20 miles away.

Just love those that say to stay home. How does one get to work? It will be sad when people have to choose between going to work and food. That's what it's coming to.
And seasonal pricing? May is when it usually goes up.
