gas prices VS sales tax

hi! someone sent me this today.. (sorry i had to shorten it a bit) "Don't have a HEART ATTACK drivers Projected gas prices will be as low as one dollar sources and economists tell me here in St Louis it might be around 95 cents a gallon. now it is about $1.59 I think I was in 7th grade when prices were that low so my prediction is January 20th gas prices will be $1 cheaper I do not know if I am right but it is sure to decrease because so many people are losing their jobs be blessed if you still got yours I thank God for my two jobs. may peace be with you" i have to admit! the drastic drop in gas prices in such a small amount of time has me a bit nervous. i'm sure there are alot of reasons for this.. and of course i am grateful that somehow we americans are making a difference in this economy. but.. (there's always a 'but' isn't there :) what about the major sales tax increase?? i don't get to watch the news or read about this as much as i would like to.. so i would love to get enlightenment from you.. here :) anything to make me not so nervous for the ones who are very much affected by all this.. and what can we do about this? "..so this is christmas..what have we done?.." thanks.. and as always.. much love from me to you.. happy holiday season.. Tey
