The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.
Cal ThomasMy financial adviser Ric Edelman...thinks the time to start educating people about money is when they are children. He's set up a retirement plan called the RIC-E-Trust that can provide retirement security. A $5,000 one-time tax-deferred investment at birth, with an average interest rate of ten percent compounded, means that a child would have $2.4 million when he or she is 65 years old. Who needs Social Security with that kind of nest egg?

Cal ThomasIt is now possible to live a "christian life" without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do.
