How are you going to tell me it's false when I saw it with my own eyes. I had roads being built around my school and the traffic got much worse.

It's needless duplication and government waste. We're gutting our federal parks budgets, but have plenty of money to throw away at a needless new agency.

class warfare!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course it gets worse but its just temporary. The long term benefits are stable bridges or new roads. So what if a commute is longer for a few weeks or months? That's just a short term inconvenience.

I'm saying that in the long run new roads mean more traffic

No, that $3k a year limit is for the capital loss deduction against your ordinary income; capital losses, carried over or not, always offset your capital gains without limit.
If you incur a net capital loss of $1 million, you'll deduct $3k from your ordinary income, and carry over $997k of capital loss to the next year. The next year, if you sell stock (held long-term) for a net capital gain of $500k, you will use your carried-over capital loss of $997k to offset that gain, pay no tax on the gain, reduce your ordinary income by $3k, and report and carry over a capital loss of $494k to the NEXT year. You won't pay capital gains taxes in any subsequent years until you've gained a net total of $1 million (your original capital loss) minus however many $3k income deductions you take.
See IRS pub 550, for example.

Disagree. because a university degree is more than about the "certification", it's about making one a well rounded person, and giving you options. You might THINK you want to go into programming as a freshman, but you take science classes, some maths, some humanities, and find out something else might be better for you.
You take history or philosophy, and learn some critical thinking skills. You play as a student athlete, and learn teamwork. Again, WELL ROUNDED. Community Colleges don't do this well, and Trade schools don't do this at all.
Under my system, a kid who thinks he might want to take accounting can learn a trade if he wants to as part of a university education, while still having all the benefits of a 4 year college. Right now that doesn't happen. You go to a trade school, you learn the basics of what you need to get a job, and you're spit out. We can do better than this.
Again, we can argue a 4 year degree isn't "necessary" for certification in a trade, but a 4 year degree isn't "necessary" to train for more than half the jobs universities typically offer degrees in.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Taxes of Obama, Gingrich and Romney
HAHAHAHAHA at the Charity column.
Calling out Congress. All of Congress.

Jesus Christ some retard is screaming like an idiot.
well roundedness does not support the family or pay the bills. Dude I spent the last decade working in a University and work currently in a Community College, the Community College is winning on who is worth more to America and I have 2 degrees that make me "well rounded" according to you

Actually there is a great study put out by traffic engineers that shows that widening roads actually increases commute times for drivers. Basically it showed that more people then start using the new lanes, more business and homes locate nearby and the congestion gets worse than when there were fewer lanes.
That said, we have to maintain and repair roads, and that will always require money.
I prefer not to have items that call for clearing the room and opening all windows in my house if they break.

Is someone legitimately opposing banning insider trading?
Wow.
Harry Reid, you fucker, don't clap. Pass filibuster reform and deal with the consequences.

This SOTU Should have been about the vision of America
Although most Americans who are not politically active would like to hear detailed suggestions
