Lets face it, anything labeleled "Trickle down" can't be good if you're looking up at it Getting dewy eyed over RR or debating any poorly executed economic idea is probably a waste of time. It's a hoot watching the baggers and rep's play their soundbites. I started my work life in the late 70's early 80's. I remember it well. First house financed at 15.5%. Somehow I think that will probably be the going rate when I finance my "retirement" micro home The biggest question is how to survive (and potentially make some scratch) off what lies ahead. I like Nitro's perspective on TD, but wish there were more choices in the poll
