Gas Shock's Silver Lining

The price of oil -- up to a record $146 a barrel as I write, has sent shock waves through the U.S. economy.

The most obvious sign is at the local gas station, where prices are well over $4 a gallon and still climbing. Gas has gone from an incidental in the family budget to a major expense, and the hardships are real -- like for the single mom who lives nowhere near public transportation and drives her old gas-guzzler 25 miles round-trip to her job at Wal-Mart.
