Ironically, they would probably need triple the budget under this scheme, to keep track of all of the earmarks.

What would be awesome is if we could pay our annual taxes and earmark where we are willing to spend the $.

Fixed that for ya.

Well, there would have to be a memo explaining to people that they have to put a check mark next to what they want, e.g. you want bridges? put a check mark next to bridges.
You want fries with that? put a check mark next to fries with that.

That way when someone gets robbed they may say to themselves "Next time, I'm putting a check mark next to police rather than early childhood education and urban renewal."

Or not.

Not hardly - The R's want neither - remember they're "the party of no" and all that.

That's not true. They want a strong military. They want better border control. They want all the illegal immigrants to be rounded up and deported (or made into soilent green, I'm not sure really). They want farm subsidies. They want to democratize or Americanize the world. They want the US to be debt free. On and on. All these things cost money. What they want, really, is to control how we, as a country, spend our money. It's ok to spend money on the republican agenda, just screw everybody else - they're on their own.

... and drug testing. I'm in as well.

TheMercenary · 09-21-2010, 07:24 PM

I would support that, and it might have a chance of passing before birth control, which IMHO would never get passed.

Spexxvet · 09-22-2010, 08:06 AM

It would be tought to enforce the birth control thing, considering that some people's religious beliefs forbid them to use them.

What happens to a drug addict who needs welfare? Let them die?

A drug addict should be barred from adoption or assisted procreation.

Undertoad · 09-22-2010, 11:10 AM

Don't forget the gays

monster · 09-22-2010, 11:14 AM

yes, drug addicts should definitely be barred from gays -there's barely enough to go round as it is....

I'm firmly against alcoholic gay diabetic obese addicts with OCD coming within 100 feet of children.

Now, who is going to monitor this for us? Awesome, thanks!
