Well, Chelsea, you know how the cost of inflation has affected the prices of everything within the past four years.

On a similar note, if reporters thought we were facing "tough economic times" four years ago, will they not be surprised when they see the effects of the one trillion dollar economic stimulus bill. If we did not have to print a single new dollar for our "bailout bill," I cannot see how we can evade that possibility this time around and so soon after we passed the first one.

Until next time, God bless you!
