All the families in America saving an average of $500 a year is more money than all of the salaries of people losing their jobs by a mile. Not sure how you can't comprehend that?

I do comprehend it, I just don't believe it to be true. $500 a year means they bought a few more groceries or fast food items in most cases or possibly saved some. That doesn't stimulate the economy on a large scale, like 250,000 good middle class employed people would.

One is a short term savings, the other is long term effect on the economy. Btw, taking all 400 million Americans saving $500 is roughly $2 billion the 250,00 people at $50,000 equals roughly $1.2 billion. Gainfully employed long term is a big picture ideal versus short term savings. Make sense?

If you look at short term only.

Not really if gas prices continue to stay low for years....again, it's like a wash.
You work in an industry that requires little to no education and is based on supply and demand. That's not my problem. They aren't just going to hand out jobs for nothing.

And when those prices go up, there won't be that savings and yet a good portion of those people will be without a job or taking a lower paying job. I'm just saying look at the big picture, it's far from being lost in the argument.

You're the only one arguing that side so really, it is a lost argument.

And yet, I've brought relative points to the discussion and shown how it effects more then an extra $20 in your pocket.

Sorry but largely unskilled labor does not guarantee you a job in this country. You find another rather unskilled job in the meantime.

Cheap gas is saving me around 500-800/month.
I am just a small business running 2 suburbans, 2 trailers, and a van. Imagine what this is doing for big business and trucking/shipping........ |

Lol. You have no clue how much I make or my education. The fact is, gainfully employed people spend more than unemployed people. That's not even debateable and yet many continue with that falsehood.
