my number 14 Spicy fried chicken at the local chinese resturant just went from $5.35 to $5.70 this week. ive eaten it almost weekly for the last 8 years!

inflation can be the killer.

by the way, the Dollar dropped to 1.5900 this past sunday. today it was around 1.5425 last i checked. that is very good news.

the dow is up better than 150 today. I think things are shaking out.

Hopefully so....

I'll tell you what Ferd.

Mark it on your calender.

If the economy is at least as good as it is today 2 years from now...

I will send you a $50 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice.

Not only because I owe it you because you were right... but also as a personal celebration of my own of how glad I am to be wrong.

Sound good?

Well.. I do think that you would be a great leader...

But that was also a little cheap underheaded jab at the concept that one being optimistic makes one a good leader.

Well... lets discuss this...

First... no bets... I don't bet. And I never mentioned you having to send me anything. A bet would generally hold a consequence for both parties.

Secondly.. If a dem gets elected and the economy is at least as good... $50
If a dem gets elected and the economy tanks then you lose nothing.

So there is no reason to bail on a dem technicality.
