Mitch, good point along the principal of the marginal perpensity of consumption!

"Sorry, no ice cream tonight, your blood sugar is too high."

I don't follow that stuff much so I don't know if Obama has proposed limiting executive pay for companies that have received no financial assistance from Uncle Sugar.

Maybe I don't understand how sugar is grown, processed and how my water is purified and the exact locations it comes from, does that mean I'm not in the lemon aid stand business?

We moved to the FL panhandle and live not too far from the sugar white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.

I recently bought a house in the Sugar House area and a developer (I'm guessing) build 4 townhouses in the lot next door.

Also if you pay any consumption related utilities you can justify some increase by occupancy level but it is better to just have them pay utilities.

We always replace the fixtures (toilets, shower, faucets) in our new acquisitions with modern, low-flow fixtures to cut down on water consumption - the cost of which has always been in our hands {until now ... we are embarking on our first retrofit of sub-metered water into one of our properties}.

Are we going to ban the possession and consumption of pot brownies?

Unemployment still not low enough to justify it and its not like Xmas showed fantastic retail consumptions.
