    TODAY'S PODCASTS - 6AM  7AM  8AM


    HOUSEHOLD FEE FOR JAILS, REALLY?

    Jackson County will survey us to figure out if we're cool with voting for a $7 household fee in order to pay for the jail. Given that their administrative rules are designed to create more criminals, perhaps we should oblige them? You and I will eventually be in there, along with Gary Harrington and the rest of our state-fabricated criminals. Better make sure the facilities are nice. <sarcasm>


    IS YOUR DOLLAR ONLY WORTH A PENNY??

    Earl sent me this photo of an old FDIC bank label.  Back during the start of the program, you were insured for $2500. Now it's a 100 times greater, $250,000. 

    Perhaps this symbolic of the true worth of the dollar - that it would take $250K today, to do what $2500 did then.
