A gallon of milk costs $8-9 in Vancouver... I think the US has something like a 160B deficit in trade - they won't let American farmers export goods, but want us to buy 160B... I think we're going to either see the American people be able to export to the world, or we're going to start keeping our dollars right here. Either way...

This is a great point - Americans don't want their money going ANYWHERE. I disagree, tho; its really awesome to hear an admin talking about a balanced budget... possibly NEXT YEAR?! [Stupid, too, because that should be a pre-requisite!] And I hope that savings begin to dwindle that 37T debt so that our children and grandchildren will still prosper when we're old and gone...

We don't want or need a 5K check. We'll take it if they doso, because of course we will. So would you.
