Some good ideas

But your treatise on the economy is not. I have read much on the US economy, and the "experts" seem to agree that there is a danger of DEflation - as all those newly printed dollars tend not to circulate - banks don't lend anymore - so they end up building the banks' reserves. In fact, it doesn't matter how much they print - it won't get into the economy at large.

Waiting to purchase is the strategy for deflation. Vendors are forced to lower prices to get consumers to bite. Avoiding those high-priced consultants may be as easy as waiting until they are no longer high-priced. Theoretically you could get the same amount of work done this year as last - and it would cost you less.

An aside;

Move to the USA (from Iran) for (CS) graduate studies - $ thousands
Buy Honda Civic - $2000
Crash into gasoline tanker truck and melt a freeway overpass in the resulting fire - priceless!
Cost to Michigan taxpayers - weeks to months of traffic jams and MILLIONS of dollars to fix.

I doubt a "real" terrorist could do more damage . . .
