Re: Health Care Bill

Perhaps the best way of paying off student loans might be that each year of working for the state, once qualified, pays off one year of the loan? Otherwise you pay off the monetary amount.

Re: A total blank

John, I greatly enjoy your website and have for months, along with your e-books. Like many people, I usually read opinions and articles that tend to affirm things that I already believed.
