Disturbing News
"Every GOP administration
since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge
the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard
Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous
"trickle-down" theory of U.S. economic policy. If the rich get richer, the

nothing at all. Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never
will. It goes back to pre-industrial America, when only white male property
owners could vote." –

to be carried aloft by a B-52 aircraft and released at 40,000 feet. The rocket
will carry the X-43A to 110,000 feet and separate, allowing the craft to fly for
