<br>Exactly. Every little bit helps.<br>Same as you... Every light in and around my house is CFB or LED<br>Canvas bags my BF insisted on a 4 wheel drive to deal with our<br>NJ winters and to accommodate my wheelchair... we compromised<br>by investing in a Compact Mini SUV. I recyle, I refill water bottles.<br><br>I've unplugged all my recharge units when not in use, shut down<br>my Mac at night, started wearing slippers, a shawl, and as of this<br>year, even a soft fluffy beret type hat to keep me toasty, rather<br>that push up the heat in the apartment. I even heat kettles of water <br>on the stove to do the dishes, rather than fire up the hot water heater <br>when it's not really necessary. I also stopped driving Ted to work <br>every day, which saves us a TON of money. I learned to do my errands <br>in the evening, or on the weekends, rather than make multiple trips <br>during the day, I plan my errands & my route to save driving to and <br>fro as much as possible. It's all nickle and dime stuff, but it adds up. <br><br><br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green> [color:green]. . . _ _ _ . . .</font color=green><br>

The futures markets are responding to the coming US recession. <br><br>I was at a meeting last week with a large group of business people. The consensus was that the economy will turn one way or the other during the third quarter this year. ie. if it looks like it is going D the economy will go into a natural dem induced free fall. But if it is to be a R win then we are still on course. <br><br>

I was chatting with biotech business people and they said the opposite. Well you had it half right. If the Dems win there is hope the biotech and associated tech industries catch fire. If the Reps win we are still on course for Armageddon and a national debt that is a sea anchor on everything. The dollar deflates so that the USA becomes the new Mexico of Europe. A good place to retire and take big euros and rip off the locals with their cheap dollars. (They're already doing that, even the canucks.) Our dollar really goes up in smoke as China decides our debt is too big and they get to decide since they now own most of it. (We sold them it to pay for Iraq and tax cuts.)<br><br>The cheap gas will continue for a couple more years as companies deny this is all happening.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Yes it is true. The markets have been reacting already to the possibility of a democrat POTUS. Hence the recent uncertainty we are experiencing in the dollar, housing. jobs, etc. <br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>he markets have been reacting already to the possibility of a democrat POTUS.<p><hr></blockquote><p>That is truly hilarious. Where do you get your material? This had to be written down in the bunker with Cheney and Rove.<br><br>The 100 buck a barrel oil is already the new Democratic President's fault.<br>Our debt owned by China is already the new Democratic President's fault.<br>The ever weakening dollar is already the new Democratic President's fault.<br>The housing market collapse is already the new Democratic President's fault.<br><br>Whoever this new Dem President is they already seem to have superpowers. I know that the new Democratic President is going to get all of the blame while he or she cleans up Bush's mess but you are really ahead of the curve on this one.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

That's because business knows perfectly well that only a democratic president will be responsible enough to balance the budget. Business would rather have those deficit-spending Keynesian republicans.<br><br>Oh what has the world come to!<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;
