Neal; Good comments and I offer only one small response to the following; On the gas tax holiday, I see it as something different. I see it as a temporary stop gap measure to give a little breathing room to those that are having trouble putting food on the table Right now as I type, oil is 119.98. If you think people can't pay for oil now, what happens if it keeps going up? Have the government give us more money? Food going up too - does the government step in here also? Where does it stop? Hillary wants the government to step in - on high gas prices and a halt of interest rate changes on ARM's? The economy is NO place for the government. It was tried in the 70's and the result was a huge failure. steve
