Agreed. And have you noticed the prices of crude oil zooming up on the hopes of an economic recovery? Nothing's changed since 2007, as soon as real good data comes in, the big guys are going to have oil back up to $140 and much higher.

I'll keep my eyes peeled at Narita tomorrow to see how empty the airport looks. As far as I know, planes are still being filled up but yields are down due to constant fare-cutting and a race to the bottom among the airlines.
Cash for the homeless = increase in demand for hard drugs and cheap liquor.
Cash for war veterans = the GI bill and other benes already there
Cash for pensioners = SS benefits and other benes already there
Thank God you're not in charge.
