Our world in and out of the workaday world
Yet another nice blog article from ian's highgrowthstock.com.
The nest eggs have shrunk all around us and now the Auto Industry is the latest to be with tin cups in hand while flying in to Washington in private jets to ask for a $25 Billion handout. Where will it end?

The price is up $8,508 or 10.9 percent, from $78,100 last year. "True loves may take it on the chin for a peck on the cheek," said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investment for PNC Wealth Management, which has been calculating the cost of Christmas since 1984.
