Why! WHY? WHY!?!?

In Lafayette, IN area? Join us this Thursday at Spurlock's Restaurant & Pub for some grub and a viewing of the documentary, "Inside Job." Next week, we'll have follow-up information presented and discussion on the economic collapse of 2008.

So, who wants to join me in telling Country A, they can't bail out Country B....because eventually, Country B needs to be bailed out by Country C. There is only so much wealth.... the balance is tenuous.

Come and join the conversation!
