Cracker,
It's very simple, the economy sucks, the un-employment figures from all the states doesn't reflect the ones taken off the benifits list since they have run out of their money, and a election year, all the bald face lies about whats really going across the scene.
The
oil per barrel increase in Texas would normally have that market booming, but another lie, the last remaining refineries we have are topped off in their reserve tanks and cranking at full capacity. It will be another few years before you know the truth about the conditions TODAY.
The COBRA, well it's a toy and they normally will sell when the first pressures of tight belts occur in the family!
