Republicans only want to do what's best for the "little guy"...

[kentuck]

That's why they want to give everyone the opportunity to invest their SS monies in the stock market. It's all for the "little guy". The wealthy are going to invest their money anyway. They don't need the "opportunity". So, don't you feel relieved that the Repubs are only looking out for your best interests? Next thing you know, they will be talking about the right to organize and the need for more unions to help the working people of this country...

8. Six - add Dyncorp , Dov Zakheim's company, plus a consortium of

the Heritage Foundation type tax-exempt foundations.

In a timely manner, I've linked an article on Dov and credit cards:

"'Overwhelming number' of DoD charge card users don't abuse

By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service


The vast majority of Department of Defense purchase and credit card holders don't misuse their government-issued cards and pay the bills on time, the department's senior financial officer said earlier this month.

Defense Comptroller Dov S. Zakheim emphasized an "overwhelming number" of cardholders behave properly and in conformity of the rules.

Travel charge cards are used to pay for authorized expenses on temporary duty travel, while purchase cards are used to pay for authorized goods for the government.

The percentage of cardholders considered delinquent in paying charge card bills - more than 60 days past due - keeps dropping, Zakheim pointed out. In January 2003, just 2.5 percent of more than a million cardholders were delinquent in paying their bills."

This is the same Dov who left his company that manufactures remote control devices for major size aircraft, to go to the DOD where billions were lost during his tenure, then back to his remote control manufacturing.
