Er. Wouldn't that be that there was a lack of demand for paved roads.

Unless you and ssj12 are single-handidly going to turn the economic world on its head with your impenetrable logic and unmatachable intelligence, I'm going to go on accepting what 99.9% of economists believe and what I've experienced in the real world.

Since Kasz has taken care of the rest, I do want to point out 99.9% of US economists are idiots who are thinking the quantitative easing is going to save our economy while all it has done since the first 2 trillion dollar dump was devalue the dollar to very low levels and has made prices on everything, oil, milk, bread, etc, skyrocket. If these are the economists you trust and believe in, I fully understand why you can't wrap your head around this.

You work at Walmart don't you?

Not anymore, haven't in a year. But I do know the prices and the general fact that when oil prices goes up, everything do to compensate. And if the prices don't go up, the quantity within the product declines.
The devaluing of the dollar doesn't effect a general grocery store that handled domestic product, rather any parts of it that handled international products or handle their own supply chain. Delivery and cargo does cost a pretty penny when fuel costs rise up to and over 100%. That is where your cost is with certain products.
Sadly, oil/fuel is the most important import of this country. So the decline in our dollar means that prices of oil/fuel rises way to much. And products requiring plastic rise due to the oil in the plastic.
