California Gas Prices May Send The Golden State Into Recession

California gas prices may send the Golden State into recession, California residents have long been accustomed to high gas prices, but recent increases have pushed many consumers to the brink. The average price of gasoline in California is now over $6.40 per gallon and some areas have seen prices approaching $8 per gallon.

Even with a federal gas tax adding to the per gallon price, California’s gas prices are among the highest in the nation. With no end in sight. Many residents are struggling to cope. Low-income families are particularly hard hit. They often have no choice but to rely on their cars to get around. Gas prices are eating up larger portion of their income.  These families are being forced to make difficult choices between filling up their tanks and paying for other essentials like food and rent.

Californian Congressional Candidate Joe Collins speaks for the struggling family

“With gas prices skyrocketing out of control, people are hurting. This is unbearable and unsustainable”, says congressional candidate for the 36th district of Los Angeles, Joe Collins. “While politicians battle on who is a Republican or a Democrat it is the American family that’s hurting.  It’s time to clean the crap up, it’s time to get under the hood of this California crap and fix it.” Joe Collins exclaimed in the speech with community leaders on Friday night.

California gas prices may send the Golden State into recession, the situation is quickly reaching the breaking point.  California lawmakers need to take action to address the problem. Otherwise, the state’s already struggling families will be pushed even further into crisis.

This is having a ripple effect on the state’s economy.  Businesses are seeing a decline in sales and workers are being forced to cut back on hours or take pay cuts. The situation is only getting worse and something needs to be done to relieve the pressure on California families.

This is smells of being the initial phases of a national recession that could start in California. It’s amazing to me that widespread media is brushing this issue under the carpet.
