  2. No should be surprised. Even those USA flag waving Texan's are buying
    Japanese full size trucks now. We're in trouble!!!

    I'm not surprised either. Looking at Toyota's site, the Tundra
    low end truck lists for 15,955, the high end lists 26,120, at Dodge's
    site the low end ram lists at 21,205 and the higher end at 46,075.
    And, that/s 5.6 APR for the Dodge and 1.9APR for the Toyota?!?

    Now, next question for you - why is this? Answer - because the dollar
    is strong against the yen. And, our Glorious Leader Bush wants it that
    way - his quote is "The policy of my government is a strong-dollar
    policy"

    And, why does he want this? It's because of all the unchecked
    government spending that should have been reined in after the tax cuts
    but wasn't - G.B. needs the strong dollar to keep the deficit funded.

  5. Oh Dori, you just don't understand! Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
    You start a war that
    the rest of the world doesen't approve of and won't help pay for - then you
    get the rest of the world
    to pay for it anyway by running an enormous budget deficit that is funded by
    the rest of the world's
    investors! ;-)

    I would think that if the rest of the world that CLAIMS to be as antiwar as
    they SAY they are
    were to actually put their money where their mouths are and stop funding the
    deficit here for a
    few years, something might actually get done. I'd gladly deal with a few
    years of depression here
    in order to finally once and for all put the idiot supply sider economists
    and deficit spending is
    good economists into the grave were they belong.

    But, I guess we won't ever see that because it's to the rest of the world's
    advantage to allow us
    here to keep deluding ourselves, so they can continue draining our economy
    of all jobs that actually
    produce anything of real value.

  6. And I was wondering what was "strong" about a dollar that is sliding almost
    daily against sterling and the euro.. :)
