[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2839554, member: 425"] there is so much subjectivity in these arguments. has anyone ever empirically compared the effect (on the entire economy) of putting money into the oil industry vs. putting it into other industries? that is, if the average person spends an extra $50 per week on gas (because of higher gas prices) , how does that differentially affect the entire economy compared to the average person spending that same $50/week on clothes, fancy food, hard goods, entertainment, etc. (because of lower gas prices)? this would be incredibly difficult to do, empirically, but well worth the understanding it would bring.
