One has to wonder if all the Dems in Congress and Obama are really so stupid as to not understand sustainability....maybe that is a rhetorical question....how many of them are that stupid and how many of them are agents for our enemies...that really is the question.

And the good news: We'll never make it anywhere close to 2018.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

What do you mean, unsustainable? Next thing you’ll be telling me that the magic beans that I bought from that nice Mr. Obama aren’t really magic.

Everyone can just jump in a bucket and lift themselves off the ground. Forget what you think know that someone must be outside the bucket to lift it. This time it will work.
