Consumers!!!!

What consumers? We ain't got no stinking consumerss. We're all on food stamps and we have to go to the Trinity Charities to get a tooth brush.

The highest bankruptcies in history are occurring right now and they want to change the law.

Credit cards have no limits - hell, they're charging some people 100% interest plus late fees and accelerated payments.

We'd better close our borders or management won't have any customers. It's happening now.

It's all Clinton lunacy. "I never had sex with that Mexican avacado!"
