Maybe they are not going to spend it all at once. Maybe they actually have the money in reserve someplace. Maybe they have the ability to borrow it from another country. Maybe they spend more than that amount with nothing to show for it every year if they don't do something different now. Maybe it creates jobs and helps the local agriculture industry. Maybe they just go a free vacation to Baytown for show????? That would be a great first choice of golfing destinations.

I think there is a golden nugget somewhere under this pile of manure and they saw it once. They'll dig in the manure until they get it.All this effort just to smell like manure???? That is a bit of a stretch.

I think they have authority from some source in order to even suggest such a statement. Perhaps private investors? Military budgets? Foreign funds? International monetary funds? Or a combination of all of them?

To hear such a figure thrown about gives me pause as well. That is a huge number from the poverty section. But what are they spending as we speak? And where does it come from????

It's just wording. Someone probably said, "We would give you a billion dollars each if we had it" and Dr. Rivera reworded it for the 'benefit' of shareholders.

It was a bit over a year ago when Dr. Rivera received an advertising e-mail from Oppenheimer for $50 million of financing and he immediately put out a press release saying that he secured $50 financing from Oppenheimer. He retracted it a few days later apparently when Oppenheimer called him on it. Apparently at that point shareholders were supposed to believe that Dr. Rivera was unable to differentiate between spam and a real financing deal and somehow believed $50 million just fell into his lap. So without as much as a phone call to Oppenheimer, he put out the press release. How gullible to shareholders have to be to believe that? Well, I could compile a list of just such shareholders.

Let me find that retraction put out by USSE...

Here it is...

"What was not apparent in the encrypted electronic document from Oppenheimer dated November 15, 2006, was a legend noting that the document was preliminary in nature, for discussion, and was not in final form. The legend was partially hidden from view but was able to be viewed when seen through certain computer commands including the "print preview" command. The Company failed to notice the legend and issued the November 16, 2006 press release. When Oppenheimer & Co. informed the Company about this matter, and after Oppenheimer and the Company communicated about this on Friday, November 17, 2006, the Company determined it best to clarify the status of its legal relationship with Oppenheimer & Co."

I'm sure those other "certain computer commands" included the 'down arrow', the 'page down' and the 'scroll down' commands.
