Hi John, have you investigated Mike Huckabee on the Republican side? He looks like a good candidate. I like his positions on Energy, Social Security, and Immigration. In fact, I line up with all of his policies except for Iraq. mikehuckabee.com # The first thing I will do as President is send Congress my comprehensive plan for energy independence. We will achieve energy independence by the end of my second term. # Achieving energy independence is vital to achieving success both in the war on terror and in globalization. Energy independence will help guarantee both our safety and our prosperity. # We have to explore, we have to conserve, and we have to pursue all avenues of alternative energy: nuclear, wind, solar, hydrogen, clean coal, biodiesel, and biomass. mikehuckabee.com # I support the FairTax. # As Governor of Arkansas, I cut taxes and fees almost 100 times, saving the taxpayers almost $380 million. I left a surplus of nearly $850 million, which I urged should go back to the people. # Our massive deficit is not due to Americans' being under-taxed, but to the government's over-spending. # To control spending, I believe the President should have the line-item veto. # I believe in free trade, but it has to be fair trade. # Globalization, done right, done fairly, can be the equivalent of a big pay raise by allowing us to buy things more cheaply.

Citibank is on the verge of collapse.....and the crook that made it happen walks away with $100 in severance. "Wall Street's largest banks lost $50 billion, with Citigroup taking the biggest hit at $11 billion. Its deposed Chief Executive Officer Chuck Prince walked away with $100 million in severance benefits." metimes.com And two weeks after his 'retirement' and huge severance, this is what's happening to Citibank: "CNBC reported that Citigroup (C 30.60, -1.10) is preparing for "massive" layoffs, not just in one division, but across the board. The CNBC commentator stated that he expects up to 45,000 layoffs. Citigroup currently has 317,000 employees. A Citigroup spokeswoman later said that the company was looking to be more efficient, but previous media reports on specific numbers of job cuts are not accurate." finance.yahoo.com
