Right, Bert, read my lips! :>)

Kendell,up until a few years ago (don't know what the deal is now) the government was still subsidizing makers of buggy whips. I don't Know this for sure, but I am under the impression that the demand for buggy whips isn't what it was at one point in our history, so I see not need to continue supporting the industry with tax payers money. As Secretary of the Treasury, I'd want somebody to look into any other similar programs that might be eliminated so that the tax payers could hold on to more of their hard earned money.

BlueJay I think your idea of allowing Mudcatters who want to serve in the Congress do so merely by requesting it is a super idea! You're right, millions of dollars would be saved. I also agree that Kendall, who has consistently shown himself to be humanitarian in every sense of the word, would make a great Secretary for that department.
