in that stuff that is good for plants. Is this weird
or possible?

What are the ingredients in Polident that provides cleaning?

Polidentıs anti-bacterial cleaning system has several ingredients that
participate in the cleaning process. The effervescent action (Sodium
Bicarbonate and Citric Acid)


These are not useful to plants

provides mechanical cleaning action to
loosen particles from the denture. The effervescent compounds also
reduce odor by neutralizing the by-products of bacteria. The enzyme
(everlace; Overnight only) breaks down and food proteins in plaque.
The oxidants (sodium perborate & potassium monopersulfate) remove
stains and whiten the denture teeth.


These are likely to be harmful to plants.

The detergents (sodium
polyphosphate & several others) clean by removing virtually all the
particles that were broken down and loosened by the previously
mentioned active ingredients.


These are not useful to plants either.

I see nothing there that would be helpful.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
