Exclamation Coming To A Road Near You, Blind Drivers? LOL

LOL @ some people taking technology down the wrong path.

Money that would be better spent giving these folks bionic vision instead of even more complicated cars.

"Some people thought I was crazy and they thought, 'Why do you want us to raise money for something that can't be done?' Others thought it was a great idea," Maurer said. "Some people were incredulous. Others thought the idea was incredible."
I'd like to know why he spent so much time and money on an idea that will clearly never be put to use. As if the government would let blind fucks endanger everyone elses lives just so they can get to the grocery store and not know where the entrance is.

Fucking amazing.

Hell, they can already stick their cane out the window and feel for the reflectors ticking by, so why even bother with the high tech route, lolz.

Thats nothing new, blind people have been driving here in this useless state for quite a while now. I see them all day long at work when they come to shop, they come in and cant see the damn prices of my items so they get within inches of the tags to see it. Then I see them leaving in brand new cars with fucked up bumpers and doors. Gotta love it

Default Why So Much Money Is Misspent

A serious answer is that until Osama took office, the Government had an excess of money. Now 92% of our Gross Domestic Product goes to pay Govt debt. It will be 20 trillion dollars by the time your grandkids pay it off.
There are not enough "rich" in this country to "tax the rich".

There is a form of welfare where grants and loans are made to anyone who can bullshoot and apply for them.
Giving away Federal Money is how the US Govt controlls the states, the counties, and individuals. It's not about safety, it's about power and control.

How much money the government either takes or gives is one of the few legitimate things besides regulation it has to control us. The only other option is violence and the barrel of a gun, but just be happy you live in nation that rarely does so against its own citizens though. Been that way long before our country has existed and will be the case long after.

I didn't see any mention of federal money involved in this crazy project, so you might be a little off topic here bob.

That being said, I just hope you never voted for either Reagan or either of the Bushes since those 3 presidents are directly responsible for over 90% of our nation's debt.

The main reason Obama's debt numbers look so bad is that he finally put Bush's war debts 'on the budget' since that custerfuck kept trillions of dollars of his war debt off the books.

So unless you were against the stupid presidents that got us here and the stupid wars that are killing this nation literally and financially, your osama comments are pure lunacy and stupidity.

This country was technically bankrupted long before OBAMA took over, but if you wanna try to blame it all on him instead of where it really lies, I think you are letting your political ideologies blind you from reality.

The 20 Trillion of debt (by the time your grandchildren pay it off) was created by the current administration during 19 months of Obamas regime. That is nowhere close to Bush/Regans debt.

Democrats have outnumbered Republicans in Congress for almost 4 years.
There is no way their legislation can be outvoted by the minority of Republicans. Write it down: If the majority changes after November, Obama will not sign any Republican legislation for his final 2 years.

Our military budget is about 6%, our healthcare budget is 17% of the Federal budget. Congress refuses (illegall/unconstitutionally) so far, to even submit a budget.....I suspect until after the elections. The news media chooses to ignore both these facts. I was promised that our troops would be out of the Middle East within 90 days that promise has not been kept.

Good news is that most of the "re-election stimulus" money will be released in certain politically correct ares just in time for the elections.
Although months ago 2 million went to the Clinton Presidential Library
with no mention of how many laid off people went back to work.
If you still have a job, be greatful. Unemployment is far higher than
Obama's 10% or Bush's 4%.

I was promised openness and transparency and all legislation would be posted at least 72 hours before a vote. That has not been true. Write this down: When UN-RE-elected Congress members return after November, you will see plenty of legislation passed by the ruling party, since you can't stop or influence them......they will have just been voted out of office.

Socialism doesn't work, because eventually you run out of people to take it away from. I was promised "in fact if you make less than $249,000, you will pay no taxes at all" and that promise hasn't been kept either. We have to get that 20 trillion from somewhere.
--------------------------------------------
Blame who you choose. The truth eventually comes out....example: Clinton said on Opra that he really did have sex with that woman...after his book came out. Write down what I have said will happen. Let's find out if it's true.
