I see declines more in Los Angeles then many places. So many places going under. Now overseas investors are buying a large amount of the repo homes.

No easy way out now, but we can only drop so far.
It would seem that unemployment could be fixed by dropping the work week to 36 hours. Sure we all suffer in a small way, but every 8 people who do it would open another full time job for 1 more.
Why cant we take a set fee on gas sales? For a few cents per gallion liability insurance could be paid at the pump. No more uninsured drivers. If you drive a V8, you pay more then the prius driver. We should set a fee on gas, so we have reserves the next time it reaches 4.00 plus.

How much fuel do we use a day in the US? Imagine a 1.00-1.50 fee added per gallion? That could be used in many ways, and dictated by the people.

Not another tax... a reserve.

When things get bad, you fix up your old car.... When things are good... you fix up your old car. Good time to be in the parts business.
