Citibank just raised the fee on my credit card on all foreign transactions from one percent to three percent. It seems like it the same as Madahos Chica business practices - when business is bad you raise rates.
I have never been much of a gold bug but it maybe its time to become one. The leadership in America has seemed to have lost their way. In a time of crisis you get a partisan vote on a stimulus bill? Obama made a big show of reaching out to the Republicans but obviously he did not influence Pelosi. He's President but I do not think he has control yet. Will he be able to govern was one the big questions marks in the election.
I am very close to retirement. Everyone I talk to tells me to keep working. Damn!
