โฆ or the even more gonzo "nothing below 25ยข" plan: what American *wouldn't* want their penny jars to deliver an immediate 25x return?
@jp_koning Inflation being inflation, it might be worthwhile to go ahead rebase penny, nickel and dime to 25 cents & round to nearest quarter. However our use of post-retail price sales tax instead of pre-retail price VAT may mean rounding to nearest quarter screws up state/local tax base.

@MarkBahner @RobAtkinsonITIF @deanwball @hamandcheese โฆ was your hope for all expenditures you believe unconstitutional that magically one morning Congress would have epiphany, embrace your interpretation, apologize for oversteps & then repeal them in orderly & gradual manner? such wishcraft would never shrink overgrown gov! /

@CaHSRA in what year will anyone be able to take the full Sacramento to San Diego ride - claimed possible for a full system cost of $45B, back when your project was sold to voters in 2008 - and how much will have been spent before that ride?
@tedgioia in 2008, to pass the first $9B in bonds, voters were told in the official voter guide that a full San Francisco to San Diego system would cost $45 billion. โฆ

@MarkBahner @RobAtkinsonITIF @deanwball @hamandcheese as a strict constitutionalist who believes that spending is unconstitutional, why wouldn't you be happy about that (if in fact it's more than a transient glitch)?

@MarkBahner @RobAtkinsonITIF @deanwball @hamandcheese supposedly PEPFAR's ok'd by Trumpists for continued funding. I don't think any of them look at it through your monomaniacal "constitutional" lens. but you argue it's unconstitutional, & thus funding must be stopped? I guess good thing you're not in any decisionmaking roles!

@MarkBahner @RobAtkinsonITIF @deanwball @hamandcheese fwiw: supposedly PEPFAR continuing. & DOGE's case against other USAID programs isn't necessarily your narrow "they're unconstitutional" frame - they have many objections & potential rationales! you're the only one obsessing about a James Madison (d. 1836) quip about constitution.

Back in my day there was so much toilet paper and so much eggs that we gathered at night and threw them at the houses of our enemies.
