We have a trillion dollar economy and interest rates are at record lows.
What are you talking about. I don't think you have ever taken a business
class or watched news other then the MTV news.

No... I'm not kidding. If you really believe that, then you live in LaLa
land.
Not only does our economy suck but so does our current state of our
country
as a whole.

OK, guess I should have read the article first:-). No thanks to govt.
subsidized broadband. We already have too much of a socialist load on
our economy. The fact that we have less socialism than most other
countries is probably the main reason that we have the strongest
economy in the world,
the envy of other nations. Just my two cents.
