Relief workers in New Orleans, the money they're paid is burning a hole in their pocket and they're going to spend it.
It's obviously a ton of money.
We were very wrong in October.
You just have to have a threat there to worry markets and they (buyers) want to lock in prices.
People will think they just dropped cash on us. I don't think so.
We're doing great on growth on sales taxes so far. We expected this number to fall, but it hasn't fallen yet.
People are spending to rebuild their lives, even if they don't have a job or have lost their home. I thought we would have seen quite a slowdown. But people are apparently trying to keep as much of their lifestyles as they can.
Back in February, when we projected $55 oil, oil prices were falling. We projected a weaker price over the summer.
It's the first attempt to get some numbers out there to get a feel for how big this thing is.
