ha- well you will be disappointed to hear that I have changed my position on stock options expensing! I now think stock options should be expensed, I was only against expensing as a way to promote US based engineering, now that engineering is going anyway, I don't care.

I am certain it was a sad day when some options expensing proponents found out I had switched sides. Now how are they going to amuse themselves?!

I am not positive on the dollar or this economy at all. I am trying to invest in the old paradigm shift kind of things like Linux. I am looking at the deficit to be guided up after the 03 tax rolls come in, based on info I know in real terms that verifies your post about wages. Hoping for a better 05 though.

btw what report is it on the BLS website that shows average salary? I have never seen anything like that. Links to the reports on the BLS site don't work so just tell me which report it is and I will search.

Wage deflation is a little misleading because as engineers and accountants are forced to take retail jobs, "avg hourly wage" goes down, but it would be more meaningful for a wage gauge by profession.
