Who would take them?
I suppose they could all be put at the North Pole. Their cold hearts could possibly help re-freeze the Arctic.

2. The link works, but the game itself doesnt for me |
|
And the "Help" section is no help at all as far as the game not working.
But thanks anyway.

3. Well, the way I played, I was a debt maintainer |

I was frantically clicking on the "raise taxes" button as I watching the budget climb.
Damn. :-(

7. Sweetheart...it's time for an intervention. |
|
You know I love you which is why I have to tell you that you have a severe economics addiction and I'm worried about you. First it was just one class...maybe a couple of books. It all seemed so innocent! Well now you do it all the time and today you appear to be doing it for entertainment??!?!? Dropping the debt percentage of GDP from 30 to 20? IN 4 MOVES? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??!?!? /shakes head
Does Sniffa know?
:P

14. How quickly does it get balanced by removing our troops from Iraq? |

And blowing up the embassy there?
And electing a Democratic president?
