U.S. Motorists Drove 4.7% Fewer Miles in June

During this summer vacation when people are supposed to be going on vacation, 12.2 billion people drove fewer miles in June than in the same month a year ago. More people are staying close to home because of how high gas prices are. Gas consummation is down too so that's not making things any better.
This connects with the class because every one's families buy gas and its an ongoing problem that we want to get fixed. Gas prices are too high and something needs to change.
Personally i think this connects to the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness from the declaration of independence because if the government is about those things, wouldn't a pursuit of happiness be to try and find a better way to lower gas prices so everyone is happy?
