CAFR1.com | Ed went to a town hall meeting where a congressman, David Price was pushing the stimulus package and the new health care program. Now Ed is the average guy who asked a few important questions per the CAFR and made a few statements per the CAFR. He has that southern accent and southern demeanor in his questions.
