Gas, path to freedom.

This is the first in a series of photos that will be published on this blog on a running basis. Pictures say more than words can sometimes, so a running tally of gas prices will be posted.

While gas prices alone do not a collapse make, they can be indicative of the direction of the economy. Cheap gas = strong economy. Almost everything you get comes to you from somewhere, and that requires fuel.

It's also an indicator of what your money is worth. When the cash becomes worthless, then the amount of FRNs required to buy something goes up.

One of the solutions I love is the one taken by a family in California who publish a website called
Path to Freedom at http://www.pathtofreedom.com/. They aren't just talking the talk, they are walking the walk.
