DJ Bush:Telling N Korea `Don't Counterfeit Our Money' -Kyodo . WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--U.S. President George W. Bush said "we are aggressively saying to the North Koreans, don't counterfeit our money" in a statement to reporters at the White House, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported Thursday. But he said actions taken by the U.S. Treasury Department to stop distribution of counterfeit U.S. currency by a Macao-based bank were not sanctions. "We are working with others to prevent them from illicit activity. That's different from economic sanctions," Bush said, Kyodo added. He also called on Pyongyang to return to the six-party talks, which are meant to convince them to abandon their nuclear ambitions. "We're more than willing and want the six-party talks to continue," Bush said. "The framework is a framework that can eventually yield to a peaceful settlement on the issue," Kyodo quoted Bush as saying. Bush added there would be no compromise over the counterfeiting issue to get North Korea back to the nuclear negotiating table. "We are going to uphold the law and protect the currency of the American people," Bush said, according to Kyodo. HAHA! Only WE get to debase it FOO!

actually, i thought that the general reason that Vegas was growing is that house prices and taxes were cheaper than California...any generalization of what the $'s might be on this ? i.e. can a retiree purchase in LV for half of California, and what percentage are the taxes ? given the above, even with a potential housing "crash", won't someone at least lose LESS in LV than California ?
