Our deficits are now declining

Unfortunately, the only deficit declining is the projected budget
deficit, and that's still projected to be quite large. Our actual
deficit continues to grow, since we haven't had a surplus a several

and are paid for by the Chinese.

They are loaning us large sums of money, but I suspect they will want it
all back, plus interest.

So, while betting on currency moves is always a risky business, I'd be
inclined to bet on the Euro by ordering that nifty new glider. I've
owned 5 German gliders, and netted $10,000 on the four I sold. For the
good of soaring in the USA, I hope I don't make any money when I
eventually sell my present glider, because it will mean prices have
risen even higher. That's not good for soaring.
