And on that point, how this ties in besides a history lesson, which I think is important as well, how it ties into one of your comments was one of the suggestions that has been made, and you touched upon it, was with regard to a paper ballot today would be either simply that you would have a single paper ballot that you would take with you when you leave, and that would be the only receipt. Or, I think you suggested both. In other words, a paper ballot would be made and printed that would go into a locked box, plus you would get a receipt to confirm how you voted. So there would be two. The dilemma with either scenario, where you take a ballot out with you, goes back to what we are referencing right here. Now when you leave the poll, you have some document to prove how you just voted. Now, not to suggest that anyone in this day and age is paying people to vote, although we have heard such accusations, but of course without any documentation, someone can say, well, here is $25 to you if you will vote for my candidacy in the election. And of course the guy will take the $25 and come out of the election booth and say, ``Don't worry, I voted for you,'' and there is no proof that you did. If, however, there is a paper receipt, now you can come back and say, ``Well, here is the proof that I just voted for you or your candidate. Give me my $25.'' Or whatever the going rate may be in certain cities or elsewhere to confirm that I did.

You lamented the problem, but failed to admit to acknowledge in your comments that it is your actions and the Fed and the government policies that can have a dramatic impact on expansion of the gap between rich and the poor.
the cost of litigation is strangling the market, and the availability of credit is thereby cut back on lending to potential homeowners.
Basic math dictates that you cannot fix the debt problem until you get your budget under control.
Not only do I find that appalling, but obviously from a bipartisan perspective, members from both sides of the aisle find it appalling that more information does not come out and the transcripts do not come out.
