    Hey I never said the plan would work

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Are you suggesting that the reduction of the US debtor's figure may have actually de-valued their currency? It's an interesting point, however I would have thought that, given it is such a miniscule amount it is unlikely to have had any real effect.

    Does that mean we can afford to have another world war now?

    Interest free credit, or hire-purchase pay nothing until 2051?
