The only way to do this is to cut federal programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, funding to schools and unemployment benefits. It appears that a lot of farm land is being cleared for new homes or business. That's great, but we must remember we need our farm land for growing crops...

Emerson, the right choice
(Paid Letter ~ 10/25/10)
In my opinion, it's not hard to understand why our economy is still struggling with the uncertainty small-business owners, like myself, are facing with the Obama administration.
