Yeah but they get all of that "free" health care. Imagine what it would cost them if the US dollar was still a hard currency instead of Monopoly money. And it works against us going the other direction. For example: I just got back from the post office where I bought sixty International first-class airmail stamps for $58.80 and my credit union where I got 100 $1.00 bills. DX hams want two or three dollars now for a direct QSL reply, so this may cover 60 outgoing QSLs, if I add in the dollar bills in my wallet. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
