dont really disagree. I am in IT myself, couldnt be bothered to learn programming. I made a calculator about 15 years ago and got bored after putting in number 7, so my calc only had digits 0-7, and would error if an 8 or 9 was thrown.

I dont think programing will be dead anytime soon, theres still a steep bar of entry if you are going to be good. graphic design and web design is dead because the market is saturated.

wow, that took a whole 3 seconds to come up with? had no idea being against total communications vacuum = brain damage.

to be fair, that happened in the past few years, not in the time frame he is speaking

to be fair, xbox wasnt making money until what, 2012?

an intro class to programming is a good thing. they still teach home economics in 7th grade in NY, i dont think a little programming into would hurt

Plus it would help with the so called lack of females in programming if we introduce them to it at a younger age right?

really? so blackberry didnt exist and prosper until 2008?

so, brain damage??

the same group who votes for obama has a high view of the NSA... wow

the problem is they know EXACTLY how to run an opinion poll (to get the opinion they want)

ok, now break it down to the ways the taxes should be used. of that number, how much did the federal gas tax bring in? of that, how many "federal" roads are there?

now, if the number brought in cant cover the costs of "federal" roads, then i will agree its time to raise the federal gas tax. if not, well let the states that need more road work done raise their taxes and let the states that dont need it keep or lower theirs.

taxes should be an evil necessity, not something we strive to increase at every chance..

in the end, all im asking is that we work on trying to bring down costs, rather than keep increasing our spending

Im waiting on The Flock of Moosen myself

you actually expect gas to stay at these low prices? I sure dont, and when they go back up to where they were 4 months ago, i dont want a 25% increase on that.

federal gas tax is 18 cents, for the relatively few "federal" roads, that should be plenty (if they would spend the gas tax on the roads as intended instead of stealing it for other pet projects)

what I would like to know, and i am not sure where to find it is the following

total gas tax brought in last year

total spending on federal roads

Itemized list of where every cent of that gas tax went

If a single penny went to something other than federal roads, i want heads to roll.

everyone keeps talking about raising taxes, where are the people asking where the money is going???

of course, its people who dont use X who always want to raise taxes on X

most americans also support "action" on a lot of things. it does not mean most americans have any idea what the right things to do are.

remember, polls can be made to say whatever you want them to. Follow the money and see whos actually funding the poll to know what the desired outcome is.

yet you want us to let you push your oil through our country so you can leave from the gulf with it???

Not very neighborly of you
