Can you still breath in our bad economy?

Can you still breath in our bad economy? I can't believe that everything is getting expensive right now, we were expecting before that  the goods would become inexpensive, since the gasoline is getting lower or the products would become cheaper. But, what happened with the oil or the price of our gasoline today, it's rising again isn't it? Now, we can't expect a better outcome, indeed everything from gas/oil to goods are getting higher and expensive, it is so sad to think. Unfortunately we know that our economy has a lot of trouble right now, we are in the middle of crisis and bad economy so everything will be getting worse. When I purchased a ticket for my flight the other day I was so shocked because the prices are immediately going up, it is rising up for about 25% from original price before, very disappointing news! And we don't have choice but to deal with it. Furthermore, we've heard that some of our fellowmen are losing jobs and so they are struggling to pay their mortgage payment, in fact, others applied for Mortgage Loan Modification to solve their mortgage problem. Everything is getting worse!
