Thwarting the DPT...One Block at a Time

[Desmostro]

Everyone in financial crisis should simply become everyone else's pain in the arse.

Sure.  But I don't understand how your solution will immediately close the $125m budget deficit for this year or--in three or four months from now--close a projected deficit of $576m for next fiscal year.

at times (in recessions) running a deficit is not always bad. hopefully it'll eliminate deflation (really bad) and keep people's spirits high by not slashing jobs/services.  when the economy springs back the deficit will take care of itself with proper planning.

ps i hate enforcement of "mickey mouse" (thanks gov) traffic/parking laws as much as the next guy but why is it ok to bash this govt agency but not others (po)? seems a bit hypocritical, just food for thought...

Unfortunately, state and local governments are mostly required by their constitutions and charters to run balanced budgets. The federal government, however, can resort to deficit spending.

that's it ... i am starting my own government tomorrow. 

in my new country, EVERYONE gets a free ducati of their choice, and track days are free (there's where that deficit spending dq mentions, comes into play).

oh ... and pamela anderson will be the undersecretary of love    (she's canadian too, eh  )

Meh, bashing DPT is just for sport.  For other agencies, it'd take real effort to get your rant on.  I mean, who is gonna go off about the Civil Service Commission or the General Services Agency or the Reproduction and Mail Services Department (which sounds like two very different things)?

Oh, and Pam's not Canadarian anymore.

Not for BART cops...that one's easy these days.

[Spidey]

Yeah, seriously.  I think I managed three BART cop jokes before noon today. 

Pam's got Hep C and is kinda used lookin'.  How 'bout some other secretary of luvin'?  Mebbe DTM.  He's just scrumptious.

dude ... one NEVER loses being canadian, even if they take on citizenship of another country.  geez, you hoser, get a clue, eh. 

and no, my new country will be called "ducatistan", and we will have a much nicer logo

dude ... pam is WAY better looking than the only other two canadian chicks i can think of ... joni michell and celine dion (who we have already identified as the anti-christo).

[enzo]

So just to summarize, DTM likes to blow up Pam Anderson with Hep C in Canada, Desmostro wants light rail to Ducatistan and Spidey is now a deficit spending Director of Parking and Reproductive Sevices?  All this cuz DQ put some change in a meter???

Isn't Grace Pak Canadian?

He said Canadian chicks he can think of. Remember: this is John C we're talking about...

[Spidey]

Isn't he Canadian?  How can he only think of 3 Canadian chicks?!?  Mebbe I should amend.
