Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

Right now, this very second, 70% of the people driving on U.S. highways are speeding

Alcoholics are twice as likely to confess a drinking problem to a computer than to a doctor, say researchers in Wisconsin. :)

70% speeding sounds low.

My point was that we don't have to spend every dime we have on "security"..The ridiculously bloated defense budget, the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, ATF, TSA, Homeland Security, tanks for the Jeffco Police department...etc..etc...etc..etc...

We don't need it!

Who are we afraid of again?

The New Aircraft Carriers are more efficient and require fewer crew members, there fore they are saving all of us lots money.
The Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers (or Ford-class) are a class of supercarrier for the United States Navy, intended to eventually replace the current Nimitz-class carriers. The new vessels will use a hull design similar to the Nimitz carriers in appearance, but many aspects of the design will be different, implementing new technologies developed since the initial design of the previous class (such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System), as well as other design features intended to improve efficiency and running costs, including a reduced crew requirement.[6] The first hull of the line will be named Gerald R. Ford, and will have the hull number CVN-78.
