It has nothing do with a person's budget. EVERYTHING is going to increase in price now. Your favorite canned vegetables for instance; well they have to pay more to havest it now b/c the picker eats fuel, they have to transport it to a canning facility, they have to take it to your favorite store's warehouse, now they have to truck it to your store. All your food, all your goods, this country runs on gasoline and diesel. It could cause a lot of problems in the near future.
