Today I had 4 dollars in my wallet. I restricted myself to a newspaper, two big cookies and an ice cream sandwich. Tomorrow I'm withdrawing the cash from a dividend check that will arrive tonight at the bank, and I'll have $240 to spend. People cut back when they have to .. until another wad of money comes their way, whether it be true cash, inheritance, a stimulus check, a gift or some kinda easy credit deal. They will want the trendy "dinky cars" until they find a way to pay for a bigger car. People always expand their spending to fit their income. Once they find a way, they'll start buying the big-ass vehicles again ... someday. Oil supply be damned. People don't change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
