jOe,
I uttered the same thought at the Christmas dinner table and the liberal splinter faction in my family (my 3, 20 somethin nieces, fed yrs of liberal retoric by my sis and her husband) challenged me. Evidently, they weren't watching the economy but eagerly listening to Dem promises of more gov giveaways. The conversation was sharp enough to darn near carve the ham. Sorry I spoke up at the table (I didn't bring up the subject) but my nieces are now very aware of what I meant if they get a paper or have TV.
