    These problems are one of the biggest reasons the Fed is done boosting rates.

    We had to have the bad news to get their attention. I just bought a new car and now I have a $2000 sales tax deduction for tax year 2005.

    Watch what they do, not what they say.

    Check out the D&B reports on corporations, and count the number of VP's

    Amazing!

    And U wonder why things (cars) cost so much!

    [And they probably have a VP in charge of lug-nuts!]

    Cars, Medical, whatever, yep more expensive! Hey, check out the dentist, I got a quote of$12K to make me smile! Na! I consider them somewhat like the the NASD bubble of 2000. It's just a matter of time! And time is something that some of us, just don't have!

    Regds! Catch 22! :? Spaf

    Health Care May Not Be Worst of GM Worries:?

    (Commentary) Lately, it seems that GM spends almost as much time tying its problems to rising health-care costs as it does to foreign competition, rising gas prices or changing consumer tastes.
