And if Trump is included in the deal, then the price would be even lower.

Unless the United States can show that it bought all these lands from the Native Americans, then is is a matter of how much the Native Americans want for it.

Good grief, given the headlines here today, this spot of humor is absolutely heaven-sent!

I'm not a Kos fan, but...credit where it's due.

Thanks, Meryl Ann.
