    Thanks for the link

    When things get bad, I think people look for the negatives.
    Use unemployment numbers for a example.
    If 10 % of the people are out of work....yes that is bad.....BUT..........
    90 % of the people are stiill working...........
    it's how you look at things.

    The economy is now uncharted waters... grab a oar and start rowing. ~~
    Put the frog in pot, turn up the heat real slow, and the frog doesn't hop out. And by the time he realizes, he should , it's too late... think about it.
