I still used my phone to download a 40% discount. My cars are 10 and 11 and 18 years old. Lowest miles; 142k. Seriously; middle class most places, Lower middle class here in California. Don't mistake careful living within means for my being rich. I even made my own garden stakes. They wanted $14 at the HomeDespot. I went to the lumber aisle and got a few dogearred redwood fence boards. Ripped them down on the table saw into eight 6 foot 3/4"x3/4" sticks and freehand used the staple gun to bang them together for less than $1 each. That's not what the rich do. <br /><br />Oh, look at that. That Ford guess? Up $190. House +$980. Still not rich. Really.

After completion Americans will have to pay to use these investments. You think rents are high now, just wait. Nothing like selling our highways, and ports to foreigners (those which they don't already own or operate...) Democrats would prefer that Americans pay for infrastructure projects ourselves with taxes. But hey, keep your eye on the war in the Middle East while the great resale of American assets continue.
