take a moment this morning to post the "Negative Savings Rates for first time since depression" article---it needs to be all over the internet today--send it by email if you have one of those big assed "joke" email lists-

People need to read this BEFORE the SOTU address tonight so that when Bush tries to use really neato language to tell us that we need medical savings accounts they can put two and two together.

Sorry for the delayed response. Got hit by the 'stupification ray' and ran to Target and splurged on laundry soap, dryer sheets and dog food.
