a really good article that sums up my feelings on the government deciding how to be charitable with my money.

That is a terriffic story!

In my never ending quest to read to the end of the Internet, I found this little bit of trivia over at The LA Times I hope you like it.

The line that wants to be a headline: "I have always been committed to the principle that it is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers," he said.

Guess who said that!

Thanks for sharing that. It was a good read. If only our elected officials held that same belief.
