Default the economy

with the rise of price of everything,.....will car parts, more specifically, rims that i want to order go up in price too? i know them boats they use have to use a hefty amount of oil.....and im not sure on how japans economy is doing, so will this crap we here in the states have been dealt go as far as making my rims go up in price???????

also, WTF is the point of giving us this stimulus check, if they raise the price on everything??.......seems like its gonna go to gas, which the government gets like 50percent of anyways,...so its kinda contradictory ........

i know its probably been discussed before but i'm pretty irritated as most people probably are too

surely you know about it(but you probably make toooo much to get one s2000raj),.........the 600 for single people, or 1200 for married couples and +300 for each kid they have,.....suppose to help people out but its not really since they are counteracting it with raising prices, id rather have 3 dollar a gallon gas and no check then 4.50 gas and a check.

It's GW's lame attempt to help us peasants find some soup and moldy bread to eat. But you wouldn't know about those problems...

IIRC K-Sport just raised their prices 20%. So in a short answer, yes

Exactly. Also, who is this "they" that are raising prices?
