Everyone is arguing the wrong argument. The government NEVER needed, and NEVER needs, to borrow money. The Constitution allows the government to mint its own coin. Interest free. We have a layer of usurers (bankers) that leeches off society for no good reason at all. Read up on it.

They may as well mint the coins from compressed feces. A substance has value only if people believe it has value.

Obama designs cars on the side? Who'd of thunk it!

Sorry. Typo. Maybe. Pavliches. Not me. You were making the partisan assumption. Your words: "I knew that you were getting to the fact the 2005 Highway bill was introduce by republicans". Doesn't matter. You sound better than the 99% in here. What passes for media discourse today tricks everyone into thinking in "sides". Real life isn't like that.

dweimaraner gets what psydoc doesn't. It's an illogical and ignorant assumption to make that my point was partisan in any way. Do I have to draw a picture that all bills, no matter who introduces them, are loaded with extraneous s**t? The Pavbiches of the world spew this fake outrage nonsense out of context just to rile up fake controversies. Long live "content".

There is no off button on phones because reducing the volume to zero (0) is the off setting. Conservatives do not understand this because they mistake volume for importance, and only ever increase it.

Where else to come for a good laugh?

I rest my case.

Ignorance is irrefutable, since no one will admit to it. For example, no one here knows, or remembers the 2005 Highway Bill. The pork-barrel benchmark of recent memory. By Jeff Jacoby, Globe Columnist | August 4, 2005 AT $286.4 BILLION, the highway bill just passed by Congress is the most expensive public works legislation in US history. In addition to funding the interstate highway system and other federal transportation programs, it sets a new record for pork-barrel spending, earmarking $24 billion for a staggering 6,376 pet projects, spread among virtually every congressional district in the land. The enormous bill -- 1,752 pages long -- wasn't made public until just before it was brought to a vote...
