But not necessaraly the same amount every year and usually not at the 
some cost of production every year.

The largest % of the basic producers-farmers, foresters, fishermen, and 
miners- have lost their buying power.  For example, in 65, a top of the 
line pickup cost 2000 bu. of wheat, 300 lambs, or 30 wk labor.  today
it is 4000 bu. of wheat, 2 yr labor.

The DJ went from 800 in 80 to 6600 today.  The price-earnings ratio is 
uncalcuable on many and the dividend earnings are basicly nonexistent. 
This is because short-term earnings have over ridden long-term 
intelligence.  How can we keep the geese laying if we eat all the eggs?
