our economy is going to take a shit dive because of this. just look at my case, all the shit i could buy, i will no longer purchase. alot of people will follow suit. that is why i cant understand why the government doesnt do anything about this. sure it hasnt happen yet but it will, and why wait for that when it can be solved allready?
