This town is Great you can find any thing that you might want here for a price. But after 9/11 the cost has really gone up. All of my insurances have gone up almost out of reach. The contractors insurance that I must carry has gone up from $1400.00 To $5500.00, My health insurance has doubled and the coverage isn't as good with bigger deducible now it's $5000.00. Car insurance gone up 30%. The rate that I must charge my customers just to pay my over head is pricing me out of the market. I can't but feel bad for them when I have to bill them. But I have to just to stay in business forget about profit. The cost of electric, gas heat and gas for the cars all much higher. All that I can say is are we as a nation better off than we were before "W" took office And the answer is emphatically "NO". The question is can Kerry do better? I don't know. Can he do worse? Probably not. All I know is when Clinton left office we had a very large surplus in the Treasury, I was making more money than I ever had. Now I am going broke and the countries debt is stagering more now than in any time in this nations history. So I say put a Dem. back in the White House and Bring back the blow jobs back to the Oval Office. We were all much better off than. Ride On,digimon
