...after Gramm let slip his inconvenient truth, McCain publicly rejected the notion that our economic pain is in our heads. So did Barack Obama, who quipped that America doesn't need another Dr. Phil. They've got a point too. Unemployment, inflation, a $9 trillion national debt and $4-per-gal. gas are very real phenomena.

GM is still the nation's largest carmaker, but its market share is down to about 22% and its stock price has dropped to its lowest level in more than half a century, having fallen from...
...live with the $70-per-month fee for all-inclusive data and voice calling - and can get decent coverage with AT&T where you live - it's certainly worth considering. If you're on a budget (and who isn't?), though, you'll find more useful features on less pricey rivals...
