Defunding libraries entirely sounds pretty idiotic

But from the article this stems from this

Quote
Since it was first enacted in August, librarians and other educators have faced misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year in jail or a $2,000 fine for giving students access to books the state has deemed sexually explicit. The Missouri law defined explicit sexual material as images “showing human masturbation, deviate sexual intercourse,” “sexual intercourse, direct physical stimulation of genitals, sadomasochistic abuse,” or showing human genitals

We all are aware of porn and the internet. But I don't think trying to keep those things out of public library is unreasonable either.

Former Speaker of the House and custodian of the National Funbags appeared in NYC yesterday with noted New York Times columnist Paul Krugman being heckled by antiwar protesters. 

The “paper of record” not surprisingly didn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole…the fourth estate with its selective tastes and all…

”I came to see a warmonger but you’re a sad old drunk!”  lol….ouch

That's good, right? You spend American taxpayers' money on hiring American companies to improve American infrastructure. It's a bit pathetic that this is even considered notable, it's Government 101 and a government that neglects to do this is failing in its most basic of responsibilities.

I think the real answer is depends on how much money should it cost to repair 9 critical bridges.

Is 300 million a good deal?

I have no freaking idea, but that seems incredibly high to me

Especially when

Quote
According to a report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, nearly 80,000 bridges need replacing and roughly 45,000 are rated in poor condition with repairs long overdue.


At 33 million a bridge that should only cost 2,640,000,000,000

Whatever the freak that number is

Obviously both are without context, and not every bridge will be thst expensive

It’s pretty pathetic that repairing 9 bridges is noteworthy enough for the VP to be talking about. Pretty sure there’s a few more than that in this country
