A (not so great) idea from Hillary

Original link: Clinton: $5,000 for Every U.S. Baby

Interesting.

"The New York senator did not offer any estimate of the total cost of such a program or how she would pay for it. Approximately 4 million babies are born each year in the United States. "

Quick math: 4,000,000 * 5000 = $20,000,000,000.

Wow, and that doesn't even include the overhead of running the program. Where is all that going to come from?

I'd be willing to bet that this will apply to those babies born to illegal immigrants. Nice.

I have a better idea: let's save $20+ billion dollars or put it toward increasing the $$$ we pay the brave men and women that unselfishly protect this great country.

The Pledge of Allegiance

Ok, so this morning I wrote about a story I found at Michelle Malkin's blog. Not too long after that, one of the people that commented on my blog also wrote an interesting post at his own blog titled "Its all Michael Eaton's fault for pledging his allegiance".

I'm really not sure what to think about this. Obviously Jay has the right to his opinion and while I don't necessarily agree with it, I respect it.

Introduction

This is my 3rd blog. My primary blog is attempting to be a "technical" blog related to the world of software development. My other blog is dedicated to the World of Warcraft.

This blog was created to remove potentially volatile posts from those blogs and give them a permanent home. :-) This blog will be dedicated to my thoughts on things that fall into the realm of politics.

Enjoy.
