Sorry, just kidding because the name's so well-known. I don't really know much about what they do, I just know they're big.
As for supporting balancing the budget, I agree. I prefer doing it by belt-tightening rather than raising taxes, but I think the tax cuts were too much. They helped middle Americans minimally while helping rich Americans a lot more. But, hey, as I've said before, considering the tax bracket my two-income lawyer family is in, we stand to benefit a lot. Keep sending us money.

I'm with you TL - my income bracket ain't goin to complain about tax relief either if I can get it

Alcoa - a pity about the acronym but there you go. The Aluminum Company of America - can you guess which word I am ashamed of?
For shame to any of you that guessed the last word - nay - tis not true. Those of you that are wiser will have guessed it - Aluminum. Why does every country in the world BAR ONE have a Periodic table of Elements that contains Aluminium, and one country in the world has to go it alone with something different. I have no problems when you want to hold onto gallons and pounds and BTU's et al (though I can smile at the fact that 6 yrs ago, the Aluminum Company of America became a "metric company at all alumina locations [img]smile.gif[/img] ), but the lack of world wide conformance to a basic name to an element of a certain atomic number and nucleic structure - gaaaah, it just gets my feckles up
