It amounts to another massive transfer of wealth from the working class to the financial class. When workers have less money, they buy less oil. And, of course, congress is clueless. There will be no fundamental reform of the monetary system such as the end of debt-based currency or eliminating fractional reserve lending. Until you change the way money works, you change nothing.
