Could someone help me out, please? I'm hoping to find a couple good reference sites as useful tools for the future. I'd like to be able to research the following: 1) How much revenue the US government received on a particular year. 2) What the deficit/surplus was per month or year. 3) How much was the National Debt on a particular year. So could someone please point me to any such sites? I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you.

Hello, everyone. Hope no one minds my posting this, but this is driving me nuts. I read an article posted here within the past few weeks about a study done on successful marriages. In it, the article pointed out that marriages were much more likely to survive if the couple hadn't dated as much. In other words, a persons marriage was more likely to fail the more partners they'd had prior to their marriage. So does anyone remember that article? And if so, can you please point me to it? Thank you, and have a happy 4th of July.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I'm working on a paper for school and there's a particular bit of info that would be extremely helpful for my assignment. Unfortunately, I can't remember the specifics. So let me lay out the general story: It's about a Cuban general who served under Batista and decided to sign on with Castro, as he didn't care for Batista. Once Castro overthrew Batista, he realized what sort of people he'd signed up with and decided to retire, saying that he had no interest in being a part of the Castro regime. Rather than...

I was curious about the process of creating a small business, and I was wondering if anyone could provide any info that I might find useful? First up, are there any books which're useful for anyone interested in starting a small business? Any titles which provide a lot of help? Second, where can one find possible sources of funding for a small business? Bank loan, of course, but anywhere else, in addition to fronting whatever you can? Last but not least, anyone here create and operate their own small business? What sort of things did you plan for ahead of...

Hope nobody minds my posting a thread for this, but I'm having a hard time remembering where I could find this site, so I thought I'd ask. There was a site I saw a while back which listed everything Obama's done since taking office on a daily basis. So has anybody else seen the same site, and if so, could you provide me the link? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Quick question, hope nobody minds my posting a vanity. Anyway, does anyone have a link where I can check out a list of Obama's votes? Whether they be as a US Senator or in the Illinois State Legislature? I'm also interested in checking out specific votes of note. For instance, I heard a while back that he voted last year to increase taxes on those earning $40,000 or more. Is this true? And if so, where can I see the information on the vote? I'd appreciate any and all help, here. Thanks.

I've got several questions about Valley Forge, both during Revolutionary times and now, and I was hoping you folks could help me out.

I need some help, here. I'm in a discussion at another site, and EVERY BLASTED IDIOT THERE thinks she should die. They all think the poor woman's brain dead and should just be killed. I'd like to post the videos and audios that've been taken, but I can't find them. So I REALLY need the links. Thank you for any and all help, folks.

Any Miami FReepers here? If so, I have a question about this Victory 2004 event at the Coconut Grove Convention Center. Namely, when does it start? I got a ticket for it, but I haven't exactly heard a lot about it, and so would like to know what time it's supposed to happen. Soooo, when does it start? And any other FReepers here going? Thanks for any and all help.
