        I hate latching onto a soundbite, though. - LehighND - 11:18am 8/15/19
        Campaigns are sound bites. And that one was no gaffe. He believed it. - Frank L - 11:25am 8/15/19

        Let's hope our rates are high enough to be able to cut them adequately. - LehighND - 6:14pm 8/14/19
        Our rates are still on the positive side but not by much. Still better than being negative. - PBHangingChad - 6:18pm 8/14/19
      - Maybe not caused. But it has contributed. A lot of this is confidence or lack thereof. - Frank L - 5:49pm 8/14/19
