How about this one? Will job heaven continue in DC when a national bankruptcy or Benrnake dropping money from helicopters comes to pass? That's less funny. You need to have Vosilla teach you about political/economic irony. You gotta say it with a straight face. L2S

<<Will job heaven continue in DC when a national bankruptcy or Benrnake dropping money from helicopters comes to pass?>> This is my first opportunity to look at SI for many days, and I see your question and a very similar one directed to me by John Vosilla. All I can say is.....the DC area has been job heaven for people with the right knowledge and skills since about the 1940s. It hasn't changed, and the population/traffic/home building growth hasn't changed, either. Who knows what the future will bring, however? I landed here as a one-year-old when my father gave up his job as an accountant at General Motors, went to work for the Veterans Administration in the same Midwest city (better long-term job benefits and job security/less moving around the country at his employers' whim), and then landed in DC with a bunch of his buddies when their VA jobs in the Midwest got eliminated, and they all went to work for the Defense Department.
