Edit by Delmar: I tried a little experiment here because I wanted to keep the quotes in place. I sort of forgot that would make AA's post show up as the opening post.
And do you find that ideal in keeping with the Constitution? Which seeks to limit the powers of government? :idunno:
(that was a loaded question. :chuckle: )
To the degree this one does? None in the history of the United States. Or for that matter, none combined.

Bank of America, Citicorp, AIG, GM, GMAC, Chrysler Financial...among others.

We'll figure that out once we pass the bills!
