yes .things that make you go hmmmmmmm. Was tanlkig ot the wife toninght about that very same thing. The money . A lot of money is being floated around out there. You’re right. Where does it go, that that isn’t used? Termi limits, a reduction in salary works for me ..Another thign, all this money is being raised to send this one or that one to office but can’t a damn dime be raised to repair our bridges, keep medicare and social security afloat, things for the American people ..I’m just saying .

Love this list of posts.
Looks fantastic. I will have to check out a ton of these!
Exemplary damages. Exemplary damages are designed to penalize wrongdoers who purposefully participate in despicable misconduct. Occasionally exemplary damages are also granted for gross negligence, which can be defined as nonperformance so terrible that punishment is deserved by QuotesChimp. Exemplary damages are seldom a problem in auto accident cases, and auto insurances typically will not pay for honours of exemplary damages. Although they will be covered in Section 42, therefore, we will not discuss them farther here.
Hey! Just found your blog, and love that you have a Philly page! I’m here for the summer, and have been having a great time exploring new places to eat and do things. Thanks so much for the suggestions here- they’re great!
