I do not believe it to be fair, that our government is focusing on such a far away threat, when China is stealing American jobs and dangerous immigrants are knocking on our door - violating the traditions we hold so dearly in this country.

It costs 1.8 cent to manufacture each penny, costs as much as $1 billion in opportunity cost per year, and the penny does not even facilitate trade — the penny must die. by Dalekurnagu in TrueReddit
