What Readers are Saying:

I will find a way to get my money back from them.
Washington better be careful how much of our hard earned money they give away, they may not be able to continue with their health care plans, their overinflated retirement benefits and continued social services, which are an injustice to all tax paying, hard working, play by the rules American and believe it or not, I think there are more of us than there are the ones who feel that they are entitled to be bailed out and stimulated!
