Gas prices and the local economy?

Just collateral damage. I don't think Iran, Venezuela, Russia, or any of the OPEC countries are feeling too badly about what is happening to the others, especially the US. They have been opportunistic and taken steps to reduce the power of the US and many of our allies, on both economic and military fronts. The Saudi's are playing us like a fine violin.
It now becomes our problem to solve, and our government doesn't have a clue how to do that.
