here comes the "mental recession" part of this economy. The very cool thing about all this is Americans are smarter than the big box stores give us credit for. We have all made adjustments to our spending habits and are starting to see the results. Is it just me or am I the only one who sees less cars on the road? This is what we must do. If we all cut our driving by 25 percent gas prices are going to go down. Way down. As supply and demand formulas kick in, it will "trickle up to every supplier. Keep up the good work friends....I dont miss the things I have cut down on.

The answer here is simple, build more venues, light rail trains,a few more gateways to the city, hire some more useless hacks, that have never worked a day in their worthless lives, and then raise up eveybody's property taxes to the level that bankrupts them, and then spend the next ten years studying why people cannot afford to spend anything.
Make sure you continue to say that all of the improvements we are getting rammed up you know where, are being paid for by the tourists, even though the tourists will only be paying for a small part of these grand plans.
I predict that when the tax on a hotel room is more than the price of a hotel room, everything will be OK.
Maybe by then we will be putting a dome on the citrus bowl so we can host the hot dog eating contest, I know Kevin Beary and Linda Stewart would vote yes for that one.

Hey be
Until you start paying as much taxes as I do, you will never understand nothing, so save up your tips and go take a ride on the train somewhere.
