Bond Money is Bond Money,

Bond Money is Bond Money, not Tax Dollars. I see many complaints about the "Loose Line Project" but do not understand why so many people are upset about it's nature. Whether a Bond is Corporate, Municipal, or some type of Govt Treasury, the only people involved are the Bond Issuers and the Bond Holders (purchasers). As long as the Investor receives their initial coupon rate promise, who cares about how it (the Bond Money) is spent?

As for Government Control or takeover of an industry is concerned, well take a good look at what happened to the infamous Mustang Ranch in Nevada. The business was seized by the Federal Government and then declared bankruptcy. If the Government can't even run a house of ill repute, how in the world can we rely on them to run our Health Care System. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are known to be largest Ponzi Scheme ever. Our politicians just won't admit to it's demise. Buy Gold, Oil, Platinum, Grain and any other commodity that you can and hold on to it for dear life as the Dollar Index keeps sinking faster than a Rock.

Terry I agree that Social Security was not to be an end all for retirement.

I think it is tough for people to talk about because there is a lot of fear involved with this subject. Even though most of us believe the current system cannot last, the thought of being 70 and broke is not something most would look forward to.

Maybe if they scaled it back to be a safety net, then if you could prove that you had been actively saving throughout your life but some hardship came along and wiped it all out, you would still be covered it may ease the change.

It is my understanding that this 'reminder letter' has been sent during previous census years, and has nothing to do with the stimulus package. It was recently answered on WCCO's Good Question.

Where's the Palin love? Just think if she hadn't run.TPaw/McCain may have spelled doom for your homie barack hussien.May have been fun to see the veto pens,Oh well,guess I'm a minority.Speaking of LGA,hows it looking mr.cook,getting any return your $20,000+ tax dollars per year "investment".May want to make a civil perspective about that little tax theft.

Well I guess it is not as

Well I guess it is not as clear as you think.

I don’t believe the money is going to Sarah Palin, I believe it will go into the Campaign of Michelle Bachman.

If you look at the following link President Obama charges $15,000 for a picture.

All I am saying is if you look at it objectively this is typical of all big time campaigns today. Maybe it should change but to get upset over a cute governor seems kind of petty.

Actually Al Franken had a $2,200/plate dinner for his election 2 years ago. They all do it. I agree with watson that it is a better way than having all of the people with millions of dollars just give. I attended a $700/plate dinner for George Bush in 1999. Was actually alot of fun. Now I have to admit I did not pay for the tickets they were given to us.

Watson,
My point is rather clear...

Lets see if Obama charges a $1,000 bucks for a picture. At least Obama is the President of the strongest free country on the planet, whereas Palin is simply a cute governor who quit.

Do you think she will scribble "cheese", means smile for the camera" on her hand so she doesn't get confused?

So what is your

Watson — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:45:58 -0500

So what is your point?

Campaigns must be financed somehow and this is one of the ways they do it. Candidates would not get very far if they only relied on small donors to fund there campaigns. The picture is just a gimmick to get some people dig a little deeper into there pocket than they would have. Is there a better way to finance a campaign? Is it better to just have Millionaires run so they can fund their own campaigns?

I look forward to your posts when President Obama comes to town to campaign for Mrs. Klobuchar and Mr. Franken. I am sure you will use the same colorful terms to belittle them and their donors.

I love Chanhassen Dinner

I love Chanhassen Dinner Theatre productions. I'm so glad to know they will continue!

Jerry, Until you mentioned the stimulus package I couldn't think of a reason for such an expensive STUPID mailing. It really makes me shake my head. I hope when your paper comes you send copies of your Jeers to all our "representatives" in Washington!

Speaking of Pork....... Most

Speaking of Pork.......

Most pictures are worth 1,000 words. Sarah Palin's are worth $10,000.

During an upcoming fundraising visit to Minnesota, fans are being asked to fork over a pretty penny to have a brief meeting with the ex-Alaska governor memorialized on film.

The April 7 visit includes an afternoon rally at the Minneapolis Convention Center and a $500-a-plate dinner to help raise cash for Rep. Michele Bachmann's reelection campaign. The evening's schedule includes a brief chance, for ten big ones, to have a picture taken with Palin.

Our country's economy must be in great shape if these pork eaters have the funds to pig out and take a photo with these bimbos.

It's nice to see that the nation's elite don't have to worry about problems like walking trails.

Suddenly paying $8.00 dollars to watch the midgets wrestle seems like a bargain and would probably be a better photo op then the above mentioned airheads.

Any chance that you could

Any chance that you could get Mr. Buehl to comment on the economic impact that that the Luce Line trail East of Winsted has. This is not a paved trail but seems to have the requirements of being user friendly to the majority of users.

Since it is a part of "our" trail that you have not had a change to explore, it would seem that the many miles you have put on other trails would give you a good perspective on the true value of spending vs. return on a paving project to draw in business from out of area users. Without being labeled as a "trailmonkey". ;)

No Terry if the bill is good

No Terry if the bill is good for both sides I have no problem with that. You should take a run a some office someday. I think you would have a good chance.

Thanks George. I had found something on a DNR site that said snowmobiles are allowed west of Stubbs Bay.

Ryan, I not sure we'll get a coalition out of our agreement on SS because that might mean "reaching across the aisle" — the newest bad words in politics.
