Drum by what you have said, the US economy is in trouble now (even though we all know it's heading for an iceberg). The US is trying to provoke conflict with Iran because of the speedboat supposedly belonging to the "Iranian Naval Forces." Come on, a speedboat is part of a billion dollar navy? I've seen no sub-prime mortgage commercials in a while, yet secured credit card commercials are on the rise. I was always told to watch grocery prices because if they fluctuate too badly, something bad is a-brewin. And so far it's been proven right; milk has rose about $.30 a gallon where I live, and so has a lot of other foods. It's an old saying, probably left over from the Depression, but it seems to be holding steady...
