This appears to be an American Enterprise Institute graph based on US Bureau of Labor Statistics data. We all know that cell phone costs have not declined by 50% since 1998, nor have new car prices stayed flat.

That is true. The last fiscal conservative was Clinton.

120 month 0% financing?  Will it work on a Lambo?  Asking for a friend.

It hasn't been that party for quite a while now...

Neutral: Absolutely bring Cash for Clunkers back. Just skip the part about crushing the old cars. Pay the dealers to refurbish the viable trades and donate them to those in need.

1st Gear: You get a bailout! You get a bailout! Everybody gets a bailout!!

Mr. Morton is still salty about it too.

I loved BTS when they toured with The Guess Who in the late 1970s.

I am watching it, and enjoying it as well. It is a bit slow and repetitive like you said, but it is really amazing to see how this is all shaking out. I feel so sorry for the one lady on there who mortgaged her house to pre-pay for her winning ticket and basically ended up with nothing. The people involved in this…

“I Bought a Submerged Tahoe for $275 and I Nearly Became a Eunuch Trying to Get it Home.”

I’ll pass on calling dibs. Few things are more humiliating than being underwater on a Hyundai.

I’m a bit of a sign geek, and I always wanted to get some good photos of it all lit up at night, but never had the chance.
