Well although the gas prices are way too high there might be a silver lining in all of this. A report I caught on the news indicates that many large manufacturing plants that went overseas may be heading home. It turns out that the cost of shipping their goods back to the good old US of A is through the roof so it makes economical sense for them to just close shop and move back to this country. The report indicated that as many as 6 large companies are doing just that, thus creating thousands of new jobs right here in this country. Globalization is making a 180 degree turn! If more jobs are created here and people start to spend that money our economy will be back on track in no time. Lets see how this plays out.
