RESPONSE: U.S. rescues the French?
I would suggest that before Mr. LeFrancis puts pen to paper he actually understands international political economy.
STATUE: Lacks vital perspective
Enough about that statue! We have more important things to spend our energy on.
POLITICS: Key is compromise
As I read the recent political news a word is frequently used that portends difficult days ahead. I refer to the word ADAMANT. Our democracy depends upon those who we elect to represent us to find compromise in ord…
DEFICIT: Should be federal focus

TRUSTEES: Lesson in private agendas
Well, well, well!
GOP: Party for Medicare cuts

JOBS: Old guys hold the keys
Mr. President you have been trying - and failing - to create jobs for a long time. You started up there where jobs do not come from. They do not fall from the sky. Stimulus packages do not create them. Visiting a c…
