Teaching Society to Stay on the Straight and Narrow Path In the year of 2010 our debt rate per person has skyrocketed which has led to a staggering debt of $55,000 per citizen.

Then maybe they could the feel the same fear that they struck into their victims. This would help generate revenue for some of the expenses they have put on us hard working tax payers. In addition, I propose that experimental drugs
