Ahh, we're been living the high life for too long anyway. I for one love finding new and creative ways to be even more frugal.

Angie, I think they ALWAYS fudge the numbers in their favor. This 10.2% is probably fudged, even! They just couldn't stretch it far enough to make it even appear that Obama's stimulus is "working".

See the GDP and inflation stats for the same thing; fudge fudge fudge. Seriously, how can "inflation" be truly judged if they keep changing how they calculate it?
