QUOTE: Originally posted by edbenton Over 250+ billion a year in extra war spending yet we can not get 2 billion a year to properly fund a passenger rail system. That tells were the priorities of this goverment are. We have a president with teh biggest warhawk of a VP in the history of america running the show. Remember Cheney was Bush 1 Secratary of Defense. Now he is second in charge and he wanted to get rid of the man who made him and his boss look like a fool. I for one can not wait til 08 and we will be able to get rid of Both of them. I hope Hillary runs in 0-8 give me 8 more years of Clinton any time over this one. Plus we will not have to worry about Hillary involved in a sex scandal.

CANADIANPACIFIC2816 Better recheck your thinking here. We have a republican president and a republican controlled house and senate. But I guess you could call them liberal, leftist, communist republicans who are in congress now.

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
QUOTE: Originally posted by garr Just a little fun on tax day, or as I like to call it, involuntary wage seperation day. We have all heard of the often proposed Line Item Veto for Presidents. What if instead, a Voluntary Tax Funnel Line was placed on the 1040 Form. Any taxpayer wanting to pay taxes above and beyond what is owed could direct the additional money they pay to their favorite government project, i.e. Amtrak. Would there be any takers (or givers in this case)?
