That's close to $5,000 for every man, woman and child, legal or illegal, in the USA.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Just so you know, I've been hearing this for 40 years. 40 years ago the USA was the largest creditor nation in the history of the world. Now the USA is the largest debtor in the history of the world. Maybe that small fact makes a difference to the outlook. Three administrations, Reagan, Bush and Bush, are overwhelmingly responsible for the change from creditor to debtor....

billvon 2,990 #9 February 19, 2008 >Just so you know, I've been hearing this for 40 years. Yep. I've been hearing about hybrid cars for 35 years now - first article I saw on them was in a 1973 Popular Science. Now there are two in my driveway. Just because something takes a while doesn't mean it won't happen. Every smoker out there has heard about lung cancer for years, but the rationale "the longer I smoke the safer I am" doesn't always pan out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #10 February 19, 2008 The FED is not borrowing money; they are printing it. Since a lot of money has recently disappeared from the economy with the write downs of so many mortgages the theory is that it can do so without inflationary pressures. There is a certain amount of room for that, but if you believe that those old prices (and thus that money) were illusionary to begin with, and the rest of the economy believes that too, then the attempt to re-inflate the currency without inflating prices will fail. Rather the currency will further deflate. This is where the economists really do get out their pointy hats with the crescent moons and stars on them and start waving wands.
