With rising fuel costs
will we see unemployment numbers jump again? They have been going down little by little but the economy slows when gas and oil are expensive. So that would mean either less hiring or more unemployment, right?

The global economy is on its way down again. If you have a job and keep it the next two years at the current level of pay & benefits, consider yourself fortunate.
fuel prices are only up because of the noise with Iran. It was falling before this started, at a rather alarming rate. Who wants to bet some (temporary, unworkable) deal is announced that drives price down again just before the elections?

I personally don't believe anything the government or the MSM says is the bottom line truth. There are too many reasons for the information to be molded to fit the picture they want the people to see.
Bottom line is we are running out of oil in the world and there are growing economies that will surpass the US in oil consumption.

We are in for a world of hurt in this country when the world no longer want to use the US dollar as the currency to trade oil in. Hence the wars in Iraq, Libya and now the saber rattling in Iran. They all went off the dollar for oil.
