The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Larry, I'm not sure how bad it is but I do not have a good feeling about it at all. Construction has dropped off so bad guys are hawking tools, that is the first sign
I just hope remodeling continues. Maybe I am lucky my hard work has paid off keeping me busy working for those who still have money to spend - the rich, I just hope it keeps up. I have been finally making some real money and now the economy goes in the crapper

ANY Credit Card company that "entertains" the thought of asking for bailout $$ can go straight to hell!
The credit card companies have financially raped the general public for way too long, and if they start crying "Oh,poor me!" to the government, then tough t*tties!

If they are soaking us with high interest rates, and they can't manage their finances, then they surely deserve to go belly up.

And I'll be there to

I have no sympathy for the credit card companies. They surely don't deserve any bailout, but no one is held at gun point and forced to get credit cards. Anyone who signs up should be aware that there are interest charges and they'll end up paying $12 for the $8 drive through meal that they put on their card. People have to be responsible for their own spending. As others have smartly put it "if you can't afford it, don't buy it." I was told never to use a credit card for things like restaurants, movies, groceries, etc... because you're still paying for it long after it's gone.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
