I really hope so. I am by no means an economist but if Mexico tourism is getting better, that probably means our economy is getting better. I don't see it in my neck of the woods, all I see is more and more people taking the trolley northbound and the lines at foodbanks getting longer.

Woo Hoo...Yipee!! That IS good news! [insert jumping for joy smilie here, he keeps bouncing up and down and I'm having a hard time catching him] :bounce:

I hear you, bro. What tee's me off is that they tell us there is no inflation. I've noticed most prices are the same but the amount of what you get is smaller. Chips Ahoy cookies for example, There use to be 3 rows of cookies in the package but now there are only 2, but at the same price. If thats not inflation I don't know what is.

Landscaping is pretty bad down here too. I remember in the eighties a relative owned a big landscaping outfit in the San Fernando Valley, Cacho Landscaping, and that recession hit them hard. All of their stuff was auctioned by the court. They are back but not as big.

no kidding... my #40 bags of dog food are now #30 bags at the same price. A 25% increase in price with no change in packaging (other than the printed weight in the corner). It's hard to tell when you are getting screwed- we just have to assume that we are.

Does that number include deportees being mailed back home?

We basically stopped going out to dinner. The famous and not so famous dinner houses have cut back on their portions and some have switched over to pre manufactured entries. If I want to eat crapola...I'd re-join the Navy!

I'll tell you what, one outfit I still respect is In n' Out burger. They've kept their prices reasonable and haven't cut back on the portion sizes. Maybe because it is still family owned and they don't have to answer to greedy corporate boards.

Pure BS from this failed administration.

I didn't want to say it because anyone who criticizes this administration is labeled a racist.....but YEAH. He's coming back from Asia empty-handed also. I don't understand how we saved South Korea's bacon during the "police action" and now they refuse to a trade deal with us. This guy is way out of his league.
