"Rising Oil Prices GOOD FOR ECONOMY" ( someone on CNBC )

While I was in the "process of waking up" ( which always takes enormously long time for me and the hardest thing during this process is to figure out "WHAT PLANET AM I ON"? answer ) and CNBC on ThinkOrSwim trading software was on, heard something which cheered me up and helped to shorten "wake up process".

Someone, who - I would not care less, one of those rich ma..., hmm...men,... or those rich bit... hmm... women ( what is wrong with my spelling - still dizzy I guess ), that someone said:
"Rising OIL prices are GOOD for economy AND workers because those exposed to energy field will get salary increases".

Normally I am "not always in accord" with CNBC mumbling, but this time I agree 100%.
With small interpretation...
"Those exposed to energy with their FRONT END will CONTINUE to get richer, but those exposed to energy with their BACK END ( people like you and me who don't sell energy, but pay for it and everything related) will bend over even more and take it deeper then ever"

What a country - and guess what - there might be some "I can be President" types who might actually BUY THAT NONSENSE.

I, for one, urgently looked up few energy stocks I would love to short ( under certain price conditions), here they are:
(PKD), (PTEN), (BAS), (PQ).

So long, I am still not quite awake...

P.S. The answer I really want to know: "WTF (GOOG) earnings has to do with economy and how making more money on companies desperate to replace LOST CUSTOMERS indicates good times to come?"
