Ted Kennedy and Jay Rockefeller want to be rich all by themselves.

Ted Kennedy and Jay Rockefeller inherited wealth.

Reagan made 4000 millionairs into 64000 millionairs.  Created NEW
wealth.

Remember the Keating 5?  Democrats.

GREAT POINT! :)  But seriously, if you want to attract good people to a job,
you have to pay them.

The defense budget went from $350 Bil in 1989 to $280Bil in 1992.
And it is going lower and lower.  Defense Secy. Cheney's plan is

But need I point out that the panderer, Clinton, promised to keep
on building $12B submarines in New Hampshire to get votes...
