The billionaires for the most part are helping themselves to the rest of our money, with the help of the democraps.

Well Bobby Lee used it,and he always refered to the Union Army as "Those People".And move'm they did.Hoods brigade,also known as the Texas Brigade,they broke the center of the Union line at Gainsmill,crushed the "Iron Brigades" assault at Sharpsburg routing them from the field.At Gettysburg,the Texas Brigade took the Devils Den,even though out numbered.

I am reading a book "Being Texas" and I had no idea how long Lee was in Texas. He most likely made his decision to resign his commission in the Union Army while he was in San Antonio before going home to Virginia. But back on task. Tax money spent on such things need a guarantee repayment, but we still can be left holding the bag... What was that hotel that the City of Houston was left holding the bag in?
