Thinking Locally

When I start thinking about where I spend my dollars, I try to spend
my dollars locally, but that's sometimes not easy.

When there are things that I want or need for business purposes, there
are items that I have to hit the Internet for or venture into
Framingham or Boston.

Recently, I've been looking for a good external microphone for my
video camcorder. I hit a number of stores looking for one ( yet to
find one that I really like) and u even tried a few local audio places
that have equipment that is more expensive than I care to spend.

So, what do you do with your dollars? Do you attempt to spend many of
your dollars in the City of Worcester?

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

Economy: Change won't be so fast

President-elect Barack Obama warned on Friday that economic recovery won’t be as fast as he completed his Cabinet, after naming the secretaries of transportation, labor, trade and small business policy.

“It will take longer than any of us would like — years, not months. It will get worse before it gets better. But it will get better if we are willing to act boldly and swiftly,” Obama said — and he promised to do just that.

Obama declined to put a price tag on an economic stimulus plan he will propose, but signaled that it could be huge because of his priorities: creating jobs, getting the economy back on track and fixing financial markets among them. “That is going to cost a significant amount of money on the front end,” he said.
