It's going to happen regardless. <br /><br />The only reason we were allowed to live "large" in the last couple decades is because of easy access to credit. Wages in this country have barely kept up with inflation for the last 30 years and are now headed negative. Most of the "wealth" we experienced the last couple decades was all bulls__t. People selling houses and stocks to each other back and forth for more and more money with loans backed by financial instutions that were "hedged" by more bulls__t.<br /><br />Our personal balance sheets are going to force us to live smaller and we are going to have to pay more taxes in order to pay for rising health care costs since no one in this country wants to fix it. This is reality. We can go ahead and blame Obama but we did this to ourselves. <br /><br />Now we find a way to get out of this mess by actually building things again and thinking outside the box or we can sit back and blame the government for our problems.......J.

If you want .500 S&W Magnum, sure, but .22 LR? .380 ACP? .45 ACP? 9mm? Nothing.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-36131607648779221532009-07-07T08:48:35.714-05:002009-07-07T08:48:35.714-05:00I think I'll go the ammo route.I think I'll go the ammo route.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
