The U.S. desperately needed cash to pay for tanks, guns and ammo, uniforms and food for soldiers, so war bonds were the answer. They were promoted to both adults and children. Each single bond would cost $18.75 to purchase, and in ten years could be sold back to the government for $25 (NWW2M). So, a war bond is nothing more than a loan issued from civilians to the government that yielded a 2.9% return. Children were also encouraged to buy 10-cent to 25-cent stamps that they could put into a stamp booklet and eventually raise the $18.75 needed for a full bond.

I estimated the cost to buy the naming rights for the Dallas Cowboys to be $250 million over 30 years. A long term contract with the team is almost expected as the company wants to leverage their relationship and increased exposure with the team as long as possible. The Cowboys were rated as the most popular NFL team by ESPN and fan voting so any company will want to keep this relationship as long as possible. The naming rights may sell higher than the Texans and do not anticipate them getting anything less than the Redskins as they drive a larger revenue steam and are worth more.

Bill Richardson, a Democrat, says his party is right to insist on legalization, as well as a pathway to citizenship. “We need to bring the 11 million undocumented workers that are currently in this country out of the shadows; make them productive players in the U.S. economy," he
President Harrison took the nation to war with Chile over an assault on American sailors and he stood firm against Britain and Canada to protect the overharvesting of fur seals in the Bering Sea.
