I guess everyone is feeling the financial crush, unless of course you have received your yearly bonus from S.S. I just don't quite know where to spend all of that extra money,oil, food, mortgage, actually in reality it is just about enough for some extra canned goods. Enough crying from this senior, I have always known how to stretch a dollar so the new reality isn't a shock to my system yet. So this is my take on the economy...start printing or painting our own money...after all if our government can print dollar bills all over the world why can't we paint a few bucks to help with the billions needed to bail out large corporations...I think I will bail out this senior citizen.
