   Our previous president borrowed more than $3 trillion dollars and wasted every   
   cent of it. The stock market crash, by comparison, isn't as bad. At least the   
   investors knew ahead of time what they could be in for.

    RM> That info came strictly from counting the drop in the number of cars

    RM> to this same time last year. And there have been Thousands of people

    RM> Travel agencies say that trips they usually arrange have dropped by   
    RM> over 40%.   
      
   Surveying the number of cars crossing the border seems like it's possible to   
   do, but it's not a statistic that warrants a reaction from anybody, and   
   "thousands of people cancelled trips to the USA" isn't surveyable information.   
      
   Another problem with this information is "Travel agencies.." Canadians don't   
   need a travel agency to travel to the USA. The USA and Canada are so alike   
   that there's just no reason for it. Maybe you'd go to a travel agency to plan   
   a trip to Japan or something.   
      
   I'm not doubting you, I'm just doubting these sources. Statistics don't make   
   me flinch.   
      
    RM> There are American businesses near the border who say they are   
    RM> looking at bankruptcy due to the drop in Canadian day trippers   
      
   Just keep an eye on 1 American business that's near the border. We might not   
   be able to see them go bankrupt, but let's see if they stay afloat. (I think   
   they will be fine.)   
      
    RM> AT>I don't understand why they would act that way. I don't think anyone he

   The media has a way of triggering people into doing things. We should turn the   
   tables on the media by not getting triggered, and maybe we can trigger them. ;)
