Not much call for WalMarts along the US-50/I-80 corridors.
Pretty sparse where the roadsign says, "Next sign 30 miles."

One could say the same thing about the Adirondacks in NY.

Target sells all year.

most speak English.

This should be read and understood by all Americans :
Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!
To all 535 voting members of the Legislature,
It is now official you are ALL morons:
The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775.
You have had 234 years to get it right and it is BROKE
Social Security was established in 1935.
You have had 74 years to get it right and it is BROKE.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938.
You have had 71 years to get it right and it is BROKE.
War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right;
1$ trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" . They want MORE.
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are BROKE.
Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is BROKE.
The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has
ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever
before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal FAILURE.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.
AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU
CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for
suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to Fix the economy.
