I wish the GM would give me the data on the distribution of children in the Southeast by income levels he promised to give.
I'm also gonna need (and this should be easier) average per student spending in public schools in the SE.
This last one is more important, so if you have this, give them before the others.

Ok, Bono.  Here you go with the last question.

Population aged 5-17 in the SE:
15,264,000 - total

Average spending per student in the SE:
$7,675.60 - total

I'll see what I can do on the first question.  The population stats will help me figure out the other number.

THanks.

Sierra Club President Lisa Renstrom said on Wednesday that the agreement will "weaken the quality of air and water in Atlasia, allowing vehicles and products to come into Atlasia that do not meet the environmental standards that this country sets."

Obviously, those people have not read the Act, since it splicitly states that goods that are illegal in the country of entrance are not covered by the treaty.

My "infamous" budged cut still would have left a huge deficit.

[Bono]

SO let me get this, deficits are only ok when programs you like are being cut?

You.

If its a comment on the seeming inconsistency of my Regional program to balance our budget and my opposition to similar Federal programs, the reason is that I think deficits at the Federal level are always preferable, and deficits at the Regional level are never preferable.  It has more to do with who is runninf the deficit than why.

No, it's about wanting to cut SS and such.

If you're saying I want to cut Social Security, you're wrong.

Cut, reform, w/e.
THat's just a matter ofl hermeneutics.

I want to complain about an article in which I was described as being an "inactive PPT". This is not true and if we had the required laws in place I would have to sue your company for libel.

We have.
All US laws carried over plus common law.

The trouble with teh senate is the lack of anything resenbling a majority or a minority.
The problem is that, when we get rid of the two prty system(and what a bad decision that was), we replaced it with some 'parties' that don0t actually do anything. There is no cohesion, no internal structure, nothing. How many times have we seen two people of the same party running against each other. This is even worse at the seante.
Either we have a two, at best three party system, ot we have a non-partisan democracy, which I'm starting to think would be a good idea for us. What e can't afford to have is to have a multy-party system that is conposed entirely of joke parties.
Other ting that is seriously creating trouble is the appearing of an arystocracy of incumbents, but I've got a solution for that.

I don't care about Puerto fucking Rico.
