Swine Flu and the Bronx is burning......

Geez is this the 1970's or what ,swine flu ? here we go again maybe the Son of Sam will also make a comeback or maybe the Yankees?Next you are going to tell me the Bronx is burning . I am not sure if its a for real alarm but this rehashing stuff from 35 years ago continues to remind me of the Carter Era. So is it real or another excuse or desperate attempt for a massive intervention by the government in the economy ? My bet is the latter so hold on to your piggy bank it just may get raided again.
