I wish I knew. My real income drops every time the Fed increases the money supply. Maybe buy some gold? Sure don't trust the stock market right now. And who can say that McCain would do any different. He was always courting the favor of big spending democrats anyway. All this bailout stuff worries me. Personally, I am building up a supply of canned food. I hear of some serious crop failures all over the place due to draught. Food prices continue to rise. I don't care for chicken that much, but beef is super high and going up. I can get a whole chicken for under $4.00 and just bake it. My kids like it. I rub olive oil on it and then lemon pepper. Serve with rice and it's still a cheap meal. It's much cheaper than buying a cut up chicken. And I have a knife! I think storing up rice and dried beans might be smart. Maybe I'll grow some tomatoes.
