This article says how corprate greed is slowing down the recovery. It also says how many Americans have simply given up looking for work and are drawing benifits.

My favorite president

Jhon F. Kennedy

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts. As a boy Kennedy was a poor student and a mischievous boy. He attended a Catholic boys' boarding school in Connecticut called Canterbury, where he excelled at English and history. After graduating high school, he spent one semester at Princeton before transferring to Harvard in 1936. Shortly after graduating from Harvard, Kennedy joined the U.S. Navy and was assigned to command a patrol torpedo boat in the South Pacific. On August 2, 1943 his boat, PT-109, was rammed by a Japanese warship and split in two. Kennedy led the survivors to a nearby island, where they were rescued six days later. For his bravery he earned the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for extremely heroic conduct and a Purple Heart for the injuries he suffered. Discharged from the navy, at the age of 29, he decided to run for the U.S. House of Representatives. Using his status as a war hero, his family connections and his father's money, Kennedy won the election easily. Wanting to deal with international issues, Kennedy decided to run for president in 1960. On November 8, 1960, Kennedy defeated Nixon by a razor-thin margin to become the 35th President of the United States of America. Kennedy's greatest accomplishments during his brief time as president came in the area of foreign affairs. On November 21, 1963, President Kennedy flew to Dallas, Texas for a campaign appearance. The next day, November 22, Kennedy, along with his wife and the Texas governor, rode through cheering crowds in downtown Dallas in a Lincoln Continental convertible. From an upstairs window of the Texas School Book Depository building, a 24-year-old warehouse worker named Lee Harvey Oswald fired upon the car, hitting the president twice. Kennedy died at Parkland Memorial Hospital shortly thereafter, at the age of 46.

No I do not agree with this decision. The reason I don't agree is because pop is not a fating drink unless consumed in large volumes.
