I am not for BIG government, I am for moral and sensible government and bailing out millionaire bankers who made bad investments whilst punnishing the least amongst us doesn't jibe with my conscience.Just another mad Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503510474554718305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-49180713835701103792011-10-01T21:00:36.435+01:002011-10-01T21:00:36.435+01:00She has my prayers.She has my prayers.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727534908302610374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-88395419365714919792011-10-01T19:24:17.422+01:002011-10-01T19:24:17.422+01:00Mad Catholic: With Capitalist Reagan...we had JOB...Mad Catholic: With Capitalist Reagan...we had JOBS.
