    I think at this point that line is more like 16 or 17. As stupid as 20-year olds are, some traps are so obvious they should know better. "Even brute beasts and flying birds do not fall into the same snares twice." -- St. Jerome.

    This is a case of young woman flirts with middle aged man, whose brain dissolves. It's not exactly a new phenomenon. That's why God made hookers, dude.

      Proof the Republicans have no interest in balancing the budget or cutting spending.

      http://thehill.com/policy/defense/24...b-defense-bill

      Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith (Wash.), have said they would vote against the bill (Defense Budget Bill) because it funnels an additional $38 billion into the Defense Department’s war fund.

      The budget maneuver is a way around spending caps set for the Pentagon in the 2011 Budget Control Act, but the bill leaves the caps in place for domestic spending, drawing criticism from Democrats.

        We have known since the 1990's that when Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility they mean diverting spending from recipients they don't care about (the poor and the middle class) to the donors they serve (FIRE, defense) and reducing taxes on the 1%. The Bush deficits are the natural result.

        What few deficit hawks are left are all Democrats or libertarians.

          That 38 Billion would be great for an East Coast High Speed Safe rail line to replace that piece of **** Amtrak service that can't even prevent speeding into curves.

            FIRE is filled with a bunch of ACLU lawyers... you sure that's knuck support? Also, every tax cut reduces taxes for "the 1%". And given the deficit run up in 2007 and 2008 when Pelosi took over; not sure Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility. And here comes trying to use the dot-com boom as a crutch...

              This line of BS has to stop. Not every tax cut that can be created benefits or reduces the taxes on the 1%. It's a specious argument and it's entirely dishonest and misleading.

                We don't need another pork project targeting the wrong kind of infrastructure that no one's going to use because of NIMBY and the cost of commuting.

                    Rail is used on the East Coast all the time. It's the perfect corridor for it. It's not the wrong kind of infrastructure for that part of the country.

                      Where are you going to put the rail? And remember, the freight companies are the ones that own the present-day rail.

                        A payroll tax cut benefits the billionaire 0,000001% while it gives the average taxpayer a 1% cut in taxes. I'd say that's one right there.

                            It still affects the first $106,000 of the rich person's income. My point still stands.

                              I already addressed that through the NIMBY crowd, which is much more prevalent in the east than you'd think. Plus, are we going to have another Bundy incident?
