How long will it take before we hear about "firewalls" in posts and in the media?

There were so, so many firewalls in 2008 but none of them seemed to contain the spreading fire.

All I can say is you can't contain a fire with walls of fluff and empty promises.


FEEL THE BERN IN 2016!

Ever since he splurged at the Wall Street trough and and stuck us with paying the check. I think one Clinton "Bill" is enough.

Turns out he knew what he was doing. So does Barack. So does Hill. So do voters who pay attention, and most do.

Q: During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?

A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not.
