Apparently something like 79% of seniors polled say that the new prescription drug benefit will either do nothing for them or will hurt them. 400 billion dollars added to our debt and they are not happy. Crap, everybody just drag…

Just finished watching the Democratic debates, figured I would post my impressions of the candidates. I was thoroughly impressed by two of them. Kuchinich (sp?) and Braun are both very much underdogs in this campaign. They both have principles that…
Howard Dean (and most of the other Democaratic candidates) would repeal the current Administrations tax cuts, even though that would cost me and other middle class tax payers about $2000 each. Pretty damn steep on top of the fact that…
