The $700 Billion &8220;bailout plan&8221; is little more than welfare for Wall Street Investment Banks and Hedge Funds. It is an aid package for the Crack Addicts of speculation and leverage. The plan goes way beyond the home ...http://sonoranalliance.com/?p=3086 The Mother of All October Surprises- September 21, 2008 Here is a copy of an email that is all over the Internet: On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary.
