Bill Davenport: Good ol’ gas days

Great news at the gas pump. Gas prices continue to fall, as the price of oil steadily drops. Watching my 401(k)/IRA account also drop like a rock daily is not so great. I’d rather have the days of $3 gas again, if this is the consequence of cheap fuel.

Watching my life savings evaporate makes me cringe. This, along with world economic factors, is wreaking havoc on our economy. Oh, how I long for the good old days!
