Taxes?

Wow, I just seen the cost on cigarettes. They're up another dollar! I can by a six pack for less. Do you think all of those smokers are gonna turn to the bottle? I guess the feds need to make it up somewhere, lol.

Auto industry slowing down?

Not looking good in the media. Perception is reality. It's amazing how the media manipulates. Gm, Ford and Chrysler should merge. Imagine the largest US car companies coming together. Would they be equal to Toyota or Honda? Kia/Hyundai is doing well too. I would think by the end of of 2009 we'll have our results.
