Cool


Can't argue with this, specially the founding fathers part near the end. Well said, Rick!

Democratic party's pent up demand for decades is coming to pass as Stimulus. This is what we have come to

Tooshay. But I didn't here them ranting about bailing out Merril Lynch, Bank of America, etc... Many of the home foreclosures are created by ignorance and poor individual choices. The "big boys" knew exactly what they were doing... and did it anyway. To me that is worse. So if we are gonna let the little guy fail on his own, then we should let the big boys fail too.
