    I shop 99 cents store. Put it on one credit card, while I have a 34k unused credit on another card with the same bank. I have been doing this for many years. They have not cut my credit line thus far.

    This may help California budget crisis

    No more narcotic than tobacco or alcohol ! When it is legal to grow the weed for recreational use, there won't be any need to steal it - it will cost no more than Tobacco or you can grow your own in pots even if you have no land.

    Transocean profits from destroyed rig

    Americans' tax burden is lightest in developed world

    And forget all the less visible FEES - here in California, you cannot buy a computer screen with a disposal fee - this is in addition to the sales tax. Even if you want to work as an unarmed minimum wage security guard, you have to pay the state a fee for the guard card!
