Am I in the twilight zone did I just read that you are calling Obama a big fat liar :wowo: He's lied about a lot of things...He said he'd put every bill before Congress on the Internet for at least 5 days before voting on it (lie), he said the first thing he'd do as President is pull out of Iraq (lie), tougher rules on lobbyists and former officials (lie), negotiate health care reform in public sessions on C-SPAN (lie)...Just because I don't fabricate reasons to hate the guy (like a lot of people here do), I can still take an objective view of his ability to follow-through on his campaign promises.Many of those promises he's kept, many he's broken, and many more remain to be seen.

Older homes may have asbestos insulation so if you have to find some "workers" to come tear off the roof for you its probably best to spare your health just in case ( i dont know if that sounds right, but I probably tore out asbestos or worse without knowing just to make a fast dollar and I have no one to blame but society and myself) Back to the subject at hand.

Could we find alternative energy sources before the economic falilure?

Hope for no more then a 10% drop in year-on-year receipts, but reality is, so we will see.No new purchases unless they are just too good to pass up.Relax a bit more, enjoy this time of good health and just be happy.

I've been treated fine." are like people saying "I love my health insurance!"

The 50% rule makes sense to the newcomer long-term residential landlord, under the context of stable economic times.
