Jerome,
You are an old timer like me. Issues of fairness aside, do you believe as i do that 40 billion dollars coming to your local mailbox soon in the form of a tax rebate, will give the retail side of things a big boost for the summer/back to school period? There are many folks who disagree with my assessment. They must think 40 bil is chump change. I think not.
Also withholding rates will change asap as well, and folks will discover another $20-$40 per check. That too will be spent or used to pay bills which will enable future expenditures eg. Christmas. The American consumers always find a way to drive us out of these situations. And with AG at the helm I think we will get out of this mess quicker than reason would tell us now, as well look at the economic mess we are now in. Mike
