Wow! I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I don't believe I've ever heard the second verse of the Star Spangled Banner. If I had, it wasn't sung anything like this. This is really fantastic! Thought you would enjoy it. Sandi Patty Star Spangled Banner youtube.com

Maybe he DOES want to end subsidies, but he'd be a fool not to take them if he's eligible. The government offers subsidies on energy efficient appliances. I could have got one on my A/C unit that was installed last year, but the company did not inform us that it was offered only on certain models. They installed one that did not qualify, which I presume was one they had on inventory and wanted to get rid of. By that time we got smart and when our furnace failed we considered models that would have given us a rebate. Technical issues caused us to choose a less efficient model and we paid as much as we would have with the rebate for the more efficient model. So if Didier took subsidies that he's entitled to it just shows he is a good business man. No doubt he will work to end them, as he should. These left wing hypocrites are insufferable.
