Thanks for sharing that. Kind of a moot issue since the stimulus package passed but I can see that concerning the proposed budget. The battle lines are being drawn again as usual.

In the meantime..........You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!


And for anecdotal info Dow drops again on Friday. It looks like it is headed below 7000.

7062.93 -119.15 (-1.66%) Feb 27


Also, this is interesting and has the liberal/demo bloggers in an uproar since the article mentioned "redistribution of wealth". Keep in mind the New York Times is the liberal media.
