The universe bursts into existence from life, not the other way around as we have been taught. For each life there is a universe, its own universe.

The debt and the deficit is just getting out of control, and the administration is still pumping through billions upon trillions of new spending. That does not grow the economy.

I never would have believed as a candidate for the U.S. Senate that the U.S. government could buy GM without a hearing, with no vote, yes or no. There are billions and billions of dollars at stake here.
I am not a creationist as the term is usually understood. I believe that the earth is billions of years old and the universe even older.
