Stock market is falling do to economy news. You can read blogs that say we are poised to pull our self out of this slump. People talk about how tight their personal budget is and they are having trouble paying bills. Even posters on this site talk about how bad times are in their area due to job loss. Everywhere you look you can see people talking about how bad our economy is in the U.S.
Then on the other hand.......... I picked up 4 tires for a pickup yesterday. The bill was COD so I got to see the cost. $2800 for four 20 inch pickup mud tires. And they were going from a distribution site to a tire dealer so this is the wholesale price. These tires must retail for well over $1000 each. I delivered to a pool and patio center a few weeks ago. They were putting together a patio set. I commented how nice the set looked. Guy said they should. Chairs are $800 to $1200 each and table is $2000. Stop 10 people on the street. What do you think are the odds of finding 1 person without a cell phone. Look at all the luxury items in new cars/pickups that are now standard equipment because everyone expects those items in cars anyway. Watch how people drive. They go from the interstate entrance ramp to the left lane in 100 feet. And then have nerve to complain about how much gasoline cost and how bad MPG they get. I do not really see how anyone reading this can complain about how tight money is for them when they must be able to afford the un-necessary cost of a computer and internet service.
So is it really our economy is bad and people are really struggling to pay their bills. Or is it more we are struggling to pay for everything we expect and want in our life. Hence trying to live on a $100,000 lifestyle while working a $50,000 job. And I would guess that the employers fault because he does not pay you $100,000 to cover your lifestyle.
We really need a reality check in this country. Take everyone that complains about how rough their poor life is and plop them on the great plains in a sod house during the dirty 30's. Then see how rough they think their life is today.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
