Yeah, the only people that matter in this country are the rich. Those that actually do the work or the underpaid soldiers that put their lives on line for this country don't really count. The repubs will not be satisfied, until this country is completely gutted and we have only two classes of people - the wealthy and t...more

It is better to elect an idiot like GW, that got us into this mess? No. Or perhpas clowns like Quayle and Palin that are not particularly bright and unwilling to do the hard work necessary to compensate for their mediocre intellect.

Rather, stabilizing the economy and reducing unemployment is their main task. Return, particularly long term return, is inversely proportional to risk. It  is unrealistic to expect hig...more

Light American lagers are made from a VERY small amount of hops and very little grain. Budweiser makes a nice profit on their beer, although the taxes are high.
