Pretty soon, all payments for everything will be able to be issued to one payee and the rest of us won't have to be involved at all! It will leave us so much more time to meet you and Paul for lunch.

So, basically, CEO Cheney buys Dresser, which turns out to be liable for asbestos, and then gets his buddy W to invade Iraq so that we have to pay for it. I love America!

Now you know what that deficit spending is all about. Good thing we don't have to suffer those horrible economic times under the Clinton administration any more.
