The NYPE (New York Plug Exchange) took a major hit yesterday as Luds released his 2009 budget. with announcements of a shift in capital expenditures drifting towards Real Estate and a 50-75% decrease in plug investments the plug world is reeling from the news. This has left current plug manufacturers with a huge inventory surplus that does not bode well for the coming year.
The news could have a ripple effect to other industries as well. Lumber and Timber industries will have to slow production by at least 20% which could lead to a huge reduction in the Workforce. VMC has already announced that it will be down-sizing their work force by 10% due to this news.
The CEO's of some of the Major Plug Manufacturers are already on their way to Washington to speak to Congress. They are trying to convince them to put together some sort of Bailout plan, rumored to be in the neighborhood of $20B, to help them restructure and ride out this sudden turn in the market.
Larry Wentworth, CEO of Bigfish Bait Company, said that "You try and adjust your production for fluctuations in the market but it is next to impossible to absorb an almost 50% decrease in Consumer Purchases.

vmc is safe. the plugs i have are not worth much without sharp hooks.
any more info or dog recommendations.? this is really helpful and has helped comfirm alot of the research that we've done. it's just good to hear it from someone you know has had first hand experience.
it looks like we will mostly likely be getting a toy poodle.
my wife has some friends that have had these dogs since they were puppies and they have similar lifestyles. i'm not excited about it but kind of have to give the nod on this one given the whole may-november fishing thing. marriage is a give and take right? i'm also thinking this dog might make a good companion for a man's dog puppy if we feel like we can take on another down the road.
