(which is caused by socialist creeps) ---I wish there was a solution!! there is. it's called free market capitalism. we need to return to it.Hopefully, the Congress Super Committee of 12 an unconstitutional breach of power.can come up with a balance and solution. they can't. not one them on either side understand basic economics.
