One question for the Single Payer proponents, how come you aren’t [...]

Did you know…

…that believers of the national media’s fantasy that Barack Obama understands economics have a greater statistical probability of being struck by lightning or winning Powerball?
The same odds carry over to believers in the Vermont Legislature’s prowess.

Real Community Service

All members of society need to be productive.
When the State has a shortfall, has gaps that need to be filled, there is no excuse for anyone to be sitting on their duffs, watching TV, working out in a weight room or doing make work.
