    unemployment # doesn't count all the folks who fall off the rolls. My question is did they add the folks who fell off back on when they went to 99 wks???

    Or as the fellow I met recently said, if you are in the 84% that have a full time job, this economy isn't really too bad for you, especially if you have company paid health insurance and some savings or other investment cash.

    There is deflation in big flat screen TV prices for example. Real estate is a great buy now. The flip side is that despite what the govt CPI says, food and energy prices are up substantially over the past several years
    (not to mention the cable and internet bill etc etc etc).
