> a few months ago when gas price was down to a mere $2.00 . It was wonderful for the public, but all I heard on TV is how bad it was for the economy.

That really pissed me off. When the gas prices were high, then the damage to the economy was clear—everyone was paying more, prices for everything across the board were going up, because the cost of doing everything went up.

And then when prices dropped? Suddenly it was "bad for the economy". I'm sure there were companies it was bad for—specifically, the companies that were riding high when prices were gigantic. But for the rest of the economy, it was a breath of fresh air.
