Yeah, pretending that Congress or the American people really care about money is a little disengenous at this point. We have operated this country since 2008 without a budget. The only opposition to spending in recent memory was the Tea Party, they got some folks elected and got coopted by the deep state pretty quickly, then became irrelevant.pineapplemike wrote: Tue Jan 08, 2019 6:29 pm I did a little math and found that the US government spends, of $4.4T annually, $12 billion per day ($139,000 per second).

Once all the sick children, the old people, and those incapable of contributing to the social good stop exhaling all that CO2, the footprint begins to move towards neutrality, and then a huge net positive.DBTrek wrote: Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:41 am Has anyone measured the carbon footprint of extending healthcare to all citizens?
Or wait ... we only care about the carbon footprint of conservative policies, right?
