Let's remember that many of these Congresspeople are already rich.  Some
of them did inherit (Teddy Kennedy), but many of them are self-made.  To
claim that they have no business sense ignores the facts.

It's not clear what you are saying.  Are you claiming that if we get rid
of Congresspeople who bounce a lot of checks we will also get rid of
Congresspeople who are irresponsible with the budget?  Or are you saying
that if we show Congress that we are mad about bounced checks they'll
deduce that we also want them to be more careful with the budget?
Or both?
 
I argue that Congress' inability to deal with the deficit is simply a
reflection of the American's public's inability to deal with the issue. 
While I've seen a lot of stories about how irresponsible Congress is with
money, the next story on the news is usually about how the public demands
national health care, or more cops, or more money for education, or a
giant public works program to revitalize the country.  Does that make
sense to you?

   fiasco, is that Congress is _not_ financially responsible.  After  
   all, if our elected reprehensibles can not balance, within $1000 
   or so, their own checkbooks, how can we, as taxpayers, trust them  
   to balance the Federal budget within $1000000 or so ???

	Spending more money than you have is, as far as I'm concerned,  
   fiscal irresponsibility.  The fact that the house bank will cover 
   those checks is irrelevant to anyone other than the poeple cashing  
   them.  This so-called "Rubbergate" is about honesty and competence, 
   not simply quasi-bad checks.   

	Unfortunately, the American people won't have a decent choice 
   until we mandate a "No Confidence" or "None of the Above" on all 
   ballots.  Bush or the Democratic nominee - that's like choosing 
   between the NAZIs and the Spanish Inquisition.   :-(

I doubt it.  Look how many of the American public do their own deficit spending
using credit cards to the hilt.  And most of that American public still can't
understand that a 19.8% credit card is not a good deal.

The major problems with the deficit are:
1) the American public - who want the other guy's entitlements cut
2) lack of politians willing to "do the right thing" and vote against
   entitlements because of 1)

Me, I want everyone's entitlements cut - including my on, assuming that I
actually have some...

 Hello.  I am looking to sell the following motherboard:

Amptron 386
25 Mhz Intel i386DX chip
64k SRAM cache
Maximum of 16 megs on system
Medium size motherboard
AMI BIOS

This board works very well.  I have used it for about one year.  I am selling
it because I want to upgrade to a faster(and more expensive) motherboard.
Because of this, I need to sell this one first to get some of the money I will
need for the new motherboard.  Anyways, this board is great for running 
Windows 3.0 or 3.1 very well.
If you want, I can throw in 1-4 megs of 80ns SIMMS for $36 dollars each.
Please reply if interested.  Thank you.

How about the first page from one of those "How to use Windows"
books?  You know, one of those books for people who have the
