"The Economy Runs Good When Oil is About $85. a Barrel"

I couldn't believe it when I heard his say that.
Does it even make sense?
Are there that many people invested in oil that it would be healthy for everyone else to dig deep to get to work, school, and stay home during vacations?

I find the phone rings more when the prices are lower. Real Estate all over West Michigan moves better when the price of fuel is lower. People come from all over to enjoy our fabulous beaches and rivers. Waterfront is a large draw for tourism. We have some of the best beaches on Earth!

In Muskegon, Norton Shore and the White Lake area around Montague and Whitehall the Commercial & Industrial market seems to move better when gas prices are reasonable. We need more businesses creating more jobs. Not rich people putting mopre away.

Have I missed something? It just makes sense that there will be more cash flowing throughout the economy if we are not pouring it all in our tanks.
