Default What is going on in Washington?????

I heard on the news this morning that the US treasury is going to release a new $20 bill. That in itself is fine, but what gets my goat is, they are going to spend $53 Million on Marketing to build consumer confidence in the bill. ??????

We have to use it anyway, it is currency, yet they have bought time and ads on show like college game day, and wheel of fortune to market a $20 bill that we have to use anyway.

$53 Million?????????

And they wonder why the economy sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that this is stupid.

they' re assuming a situation similar to the $2 bill or the Susan B. Anthony or the Sacagaweaha (sp?) dollar. But all of those had definate drawbacks as " new" currency.

ITs called PORK BARREL spending and its is prevalent in ALL forms of govt. When the treasury dept asks for its budgetary requirements from congress each year, they are given the money with NO-ONE looking at the entire budget to see where its all going. I would' ve LOVED to seen the fallout had this been brought up in the budget meetings... " Lets see Mr. Snow, I see in your budgetary request that you want the American taxpayer to foot the bill for a $53,000,000.00 ad campaign for introducing the new $20 bill?"

Our elected officials are WEAK WEAK WEAK!!! Yet when someone who is " rough around the edges" or " to opinionated" runs for office, the voters have a million excuses for why the sorry bums up there now should remain in office.

Throw em ALL out on their asses and lets start over!!! [>:]
RA

ps
" What have you done for me lately?" Is the battle cry of most constituents to their elected officials. When instead it should be " What have we ALL done for our future generations?" NOTHING is given to us by past generations, its all BORROWED from future generations and the sooner everyone realizes this the better off we ALL will be![:' (]
