In response to the ongoing situation over at the White House, many of his apologists say we should treat the President of the United States as the CEO of the world's largest business. My question is, if he is the CEO, when is our next dividend? When will the CEO allow the shareholders to reap the benefits of excess revenues? The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Archer) outlines the Republican agenda of lower taxes while saving Social Security. Republicans are proud to see the fruits of their insistence on sane fiscally conservative spending policies.
