    Nice to know you agree
    My mistake, I didn't think YOU knew it
    Au contraire, I'm spending plenty on tools and raw materials.

    I'm surprised you think that's going to do you any good.

    You don't think the spending will have a trickle down effect?

  4. Of course spending is good, and it's good that you have extra capital to spend. On your plane? Regardless, of course when we spend it sort of trickles 'out' not necessarily up or down. We want people to have disposable income to spend. Only makes sense.

    "Us" as in you guys up in Canada? Probably not.
    Won't the spending act as an economic "stimulus" here in the states though? Albeit on a very small scale.
    I thought you were a big spending = stimulus kinda guy.

    Even if I were not a US citizen and didn't have Yankee pride, two thirds of my yearly bonus, which is nearly 50% of my annual compensation, is dependent on sales made by our US divisions, so I'm quite interested in the health of the US economy and people.

    And yes, of course I think your spending will have a stimulative effect. Now it appears that you think so, too--that's good. That's enough in fact.
