I think the economy will get worse before it gets better...if and when it gets better is anybody's guess. I retire next year,will need a job to support my hobbies (eating and old iron), jobs are hard to find. I didn't like the bank and mortgage company bailout; but supported it because I didn't want the devastation that would have happened without it. I don't support the "Stimulus Plan" and think there's WAY too much pork barrel projects tacked to it. I don't know what will bring jobs and stabilize the economy. If I did, I would share it with everyone.

Close friend says "best to let the banks and stock market fail, go down to zero, reset the clock, start over. People have lived beyond their means too long." My father (God Rest His Soul) used to say "what this country needs is a good depression." I don't know, they might be right. I've lived thru recession, living in a recession now, prefer not to experience a depression.

Right now I'm in Korea, wife's in New Mexico. I'm greatful she supports me doing what I do still. The girls are grown, out of college, need little/no support from us. The house, car, and pickup are paid for. We're trying to save what we can. The future and economy don't look good, but we're planning to do the best we can to make it the best we can.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on ... [Read Article]
