Rep. Kevin Brady asked for an explanation of why the government-run subway system didn’t, in his view, adequately prepare for this past weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services.

I just realized that I can no longer discuss anything regarding "the free market", because I've read too much from economists about how the free market is a myth.

This is getting far too heady for this fun thread, so no worries. :)

Indeed - in a free market everything should be free, paying for stuff is stupid.

I don't know where I read it but Brady (and many other Republicans) also voted against a bill that would have funded repairs and upgrades to the DC Metro subway system arguing that no money should be spent on mass transit until more money was allocated for roads.

In Hawaii they are trying to get mass transit to move forward and they keep talking about federal funds but as of yet ZERO dollars have been allocated. That's $1.4B, yes billion, that would then fall to the local tax payers.

IVF got the lady preggers. Yay! Then they find out that there was a bit of a mix up with the embros and the baby isn't hers. So, when the boy is born they'll give the baby to his actual biological parents. Wild!
