35. And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Well, I guess I trust GOD to make that assessment, but not Marx and not Obama. That goes for a lot of things...not just my wallet -- how about health care?
You know "at some point we're not just going to spend millions so you might kick along for another month or two. We're going to let you die" -- Robert Reich in a speech about health care reform.
