It does not matter what the price of oil is as long as the US Dollar is the world reserve currency. All the FED has to do is crank up the presses and print more worthless paper. Things will only change when the US Dollar is no longer the reserve currency. Things will really change when we have to buy some other currency to pay for the oil that we import.

Then it will be time for the blame game, just after the riots for food and shelter are done.
