For example, buried on pages 1014-1016 of the bill is the "Monthly Energy Refund." According to this plan, for those with a gross income that "does not exceed 150 percent of the poverty line...a direct deposit," of an undisclosed amount of money, will be sent "into the eligible household's designated bank account..."
And this is what exactly. Classic Robin Hood tactics of stealing from the "rich" to give to the poor(laziest).

Its time to take a high pressure waterhose to the chalk board and start re-writing all of this from the most basic of laws. We need to take the Federal code book and burn it and start from scratch. Its garbage anyway.

The Japanese Bond Smugglers Are Missing



At least the Japanese press is sitll interested in story of the two Japanese men caugh withs ome $134.5 billion in (presumably fake) US bearer bonds.

We can't read Japanese, and Google Translate isn't particularly helpful, but a reader informs us that the gist of this story is that a newspaper sent a reporter to Como, Italy and found that the men had been released, with their whereabouts unknown.

Now, the easiest, most-benign explanation for this whole thing is that it's just a counterfeiting scheme. Fine, but then why do you let them go without tracking their whereabouts.
