Life's a beach for millionaires

Two years ago, the Republican Congress and the House of Representatives phased out subsidies for millionaires who build houses on sandbars in the ocean and in the floodplains. In a great show of fiscal responsibility, the leader of the Republican party proudly stated that insurance risks should reflect the risk itself. The leader of the Republican party two months ago quietly folded his tent and restored the $24 billion out of your and my pocket and was even generous enough to pay rebates for any of those people who may have been offended by not having your money over the last two years. Some have filed as many as 16 claims over the years for flood. You and I cough up the extra billions. But take heart, these same budget cutters swear that this global warming won't really raise the level of the oceans. But if it does, you and I can still pay for the rich to live on oceanfront property that will not be here in 100 years. A prominent Democrat stated that it is ridiculous to have programs that encourage people to live in high-risk areas.

Too much energy

I seen a lot of family members give two to three-year-old kids energy drinks. I feel like that should be against the law. That is way too much sugar. It caused some kids to die last year. I think they should outlaw them.
