Opinions
I do not smoke cigarettes. Um, no
Lehman Brothers should not have been bailed out by the federal government.
I prefer to live in a suburban area. Give me access to New York City without having to live in Manhattan. Give me the golf courses and the beach.
I prefer beer to liquor and wine. Umm, beer
General Motors (GM) will not become a successful company again. It will be very, very hard for an undercapitalized company in a tough climate to turn things around.

There should be no federal minimum wage.
The government should not provide financial assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure. While the housing sector is a vital part of the economy, it is an unfair burden to require responsible homeowners and taxpayers to support those who are not and were not at the time of securing home financing.
