Did the number 100 trillion hit you? One hundred times more than the "stimulus" bill.

NO! NO WAY! I didn't do anything to anybody, and neither did any of my folks! Maybe they should start paying ME reparations for having Native American ancestory. They were treated MUCH worse.........:(:bigcry:

No. The past should be properly taught. We learn from our mistakes. If every wrong from our past has a dollar figure then we all should be millionaires or better.

That was a hilarious episode.

I wish they did more than just a few seasons.

reparations and Clayton Bixby are two of the funniest things ever shown on television. The Schmidts Gay Beer snl skit with Sandler and Farley also ranks way up there.

Are Americans the ONLY ones with reparationable actions in their history??????? I'm thinking the beneficiaries of reparations in this country would find plenty in their anchestry also..
It's a ridiculous idea!

Isn't this welfare? We are paying people to do nothing now.
