BlackDog apologizes in the third person to Freddie for not being able to thank him for stimu...making the economy feel really good, like close to orgasmic, by buying that micro-wave oven over the intur..ente..uh, computer.

Maybe next month, I will purchase one of those rice cookers, just to make sure the economy is well on its way to recovery. I like having them delivered to the house, along with junk mail so I have something else to read beside charge letters and so forth.

It hit here today. $1.43 to $1.57 at cheaps. The old cheapESTs have hit $1.65 from $1.39 last week.

Gas is cheap in the "poor" states. It's $2.09 in the
Great Flooded Northwest. The state of Washington
taxes the shit out of gasoline sales. It supposedly goes to
fix the roads and build new highways. Of course just like
the rest of the nation, every fucking bridge and roadway
is rotting away, I-5 through Seattle is cobblestone...you notice
that kind of shit when your in stop and go traffic for an hour.
When gas was over $4 a gallon, people figured out a different
way to get to work and of course tax revenues took a huge
dip. The same could be said for sales tax. The Xmas shopping
season predicted to be be a bummer ahead of time was made
even more of a bummer when a huge winter storm hit the
northwest 2 weeks before Xmas and the week after. Of course
during a disaster, all the preset budgets to take care of any or
normal emergencies, get completely blown out of the water.
Huge amounts of money over and above what was set aside
gets paid by who? Lets just say the government pays for it somehow.
The government has been shelling out billions-trillions-gillions of
dollars for various states of emergencies created by hurricanes, floods,
tornadoes, wild fires, snow storms, ice storms, and so forth on a seemingly
increasing rate. There is going to be a point in time where there will be
no assistance from the govt, the disasters are coming at a alarming rate.
Or another scenario, the ever increasing disasters break the bank.
The outlook for the USA is not good. We are no longer a nation that the
world wants to invest their money in, we've sent our most viable and
valuable jobs/products to other nations. The American dollar is hanging
by a thread. The reality of our slide towards the sewer has been planned
about 60 years ago with the creation of the United Nations (NWO).

We pay 83.9 cents per Liter. It went up this week in 1 day a dime. We've always been told that the price of gas is reflected by the price of oil 3 WEEKS PRIOR.
