Middle America is now starting to pick up those aluminum cans… As I said before, I’d started saving aluminum cans to teach the kids something about money… @ $125 worth were cashed in recently. I’d say that was a good lesson. Lots more nationwide are doing that to offset fuel prices because you know who [...]

I don’t know if they’re making any money, but they’re getting lots of hits off the laugh factor here… All it takes is a sorry situation, sorry politicians, America’s wondering… “Are these all the choices we can come up with?
