First - how many people would go into, oh Home Depot to buy maybe a shovel today and look at the $24.95 they are charging and find the manager and say, this is a good price but if I am going to purchase this shovel you have to charge me $29.95 or I just won't buy it! This is the living wage personalized. not bright.<BR/><BR/>Second - it has been said before but surely applies to Toledo/Lucas county in spades...Democrats/Liberals should be judged on their INTENT, not by the actual outcome of their plan.

I am concerned, with all of the "stimulus" happening, that too much control will be exerted by the Federal Government. Most people know that this way to exert central planning will not work. Just look at all who have tried it.Romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016139270835685661noreply@blogger.com
