years ago the economic state of either japan/china (don't remember which) got so bad that the interest rate dropped to around the 1% range. Is this the same situation? I'm not as versed in econ as others so a little patience. tia.

How is more money in your pocket a bad thing?

Could be for South La refineries, as in Exxon, Marathon, etc.... Some of these plants were looking into some pretty big expansion in the near future and the falling prices of oil will likely have a direct effect on their decisions.

Good for individuals, bad for the oil and gas industry.

Bad for Louisiana...I'd rather Louisiana be booming than the average american have a few hundred extra dollars to spend each year

bad for upstream, bad for midstream (assuming drops in domestic production outweighs cost-savings for transportation), good for downstream (cheap feed stock)

It's bad for anybody with land in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconbanghead.gif)

No, it means the transfer of wealth from the USA to the Middle East via increased fuel prices over the last 8 years is ending. fricking ragheads.

Certainly bad for this State, which gets most of it's revenue from oil.

good for most people, bad for oil producing states' budgets, bad for higher-ed in Louisiana, bad for oil field workers, good for plant workers, good for plants and refiners, good for ag, good for transportation.
