Not sources that told you to depend on taxes FROM the IRS for your business
plan to succeed :-)

The US is on track to repeat what it did in Vietnam. Declare victory and go
home.

Yep, when the US economy is well managed, everybody wants the US dollar.
Clinton and the Democrats brought prosperity to the USA. When the US economy is
in shambles, people turn to gold and the US dollar value heads for the
toilet. Almost everyone on Goanet is aware of this.
BTW, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were effectively nationalized this week. There
used to be a time when I would laugh at socialist countries that nationalized
public companies. When this happens, taxpayers money is used to support/prop
up bad management. The really sad thing about the Freddie Mac/Freddie
Mae arrangement is that the US is going to cut taxes and print more money to
pay for the mess that George Bush (43) policies got the country into.
Talk about using rational logic!!!!!

The only reason a great many American families don't own an elephant is that
they have never been offered an elephant for a dollar down and easy monthly
payments.
