I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of it, but from what I hear, this is a big risk. If you want to get more depressed, watch Glenn Beck's show from Friday.

The utter irresponsibility and incompetence of the Federal government printing money must be stopped before the value of the dollar plunges and is worthless. But, maybe, this is what Obama is hoping for - a national crisis, to declare martial law? I hope not but ya never know what these radical Leftists have up their sleeves. Obama is power hungry and I can only speculate he doesn't want to have to step down in 2012.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503734024591838429.post-56795865911446634412010-11-06T00:46:42.107-04:002010-11-06T00:46:42.107-04:00Odie:

We buy things we can keep in the pantry if they're on sale and don't expire right away.

We have to try and be better shoppers than ever, stock up during sales, clip coupons, know the best stores! <br /><br />The past 6 mo. or so I discovered Aldi, really good prices on lots of "gourmet" type things. Love the salad dressings, cappichino, jams, fresh salad mixes, etc. I walked there yesterday, (no car) it was a nice day. about 45 minutes EACH WAY, but worth the trip. I love fall, esp. after Tues nite, and good to get some exercise.Amusing Bunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385840951446381247noreply@blogger.com
