With the price of oil, we may have to return to those days LOL We can each hitch our :dem: to a wagon.

I agree that the economy is descending slowly. Imagine it's as mighty as a huge, huge steam locomotive. Moving steadily along for years. But one day all the coal runs out and it begins to decelerate. It will take a while for all the gears and wheels to grind to a standstill, but they will come to a complete stop one day if there is no more steam produced.

We've only had small blips of a 'frozen' economy in the US over the last decades. I don't think we should use them as an example or a fantasy escape. This time, there are just too many bounced checks....I mean, look at the federal balance sheet as if it is were your own personal budget. If you knew you were amassing huge credit card debt and committing yourself to endeavors that demanded even more of your $$$$$$$$ how soon before you'd tank?


I hope to hell that I am wrong but I'm preparing as if I'm right.
