#9  Which begs the question... How did Congress arrive at a SSA COLA of 8.9% ?

When in the real world it is 20++% for just about anything.

#6  Time to lay in vast amounts of firewood to make your bootleg hootch for the coming winter. Make sure the wood burns with no smoke so that the heavily armed newly hired 87,000 revenooers don't find you easily.

#2  Here in Ga. our natural gas thermal unit cost just went up from 73 cents to 93 cents per thermal unit for a 12 month locked in home contract.

Its going to be a bit colder in the house this winter.
