economics 101...or something like that

So, the American economy...now that's a topic many can relate to these days, eh? How 'bout the price of yogurt? Seriously, I had a conversation with a man about the economy in front of the yogurt section of the grocery store as we both sighed at the price. "Black Monday"...now there's a scary thought. I mean, seriously, a bank ran out of money?! Remind of of anything? Whaddya think?
