Hey! Virginia’s taking debt bill suggestions!

At $48,604,163.15 it's a steal.

No, really: right here.

Nope, they’re not restricting it. You can just email ‘em and start.

Yup, they want your input. They think.

So, what’s stopping people from sending in every obnoxiously expensive and/or silly suggestion that they can think of?

Now, who would do a horrible thing like that?

PS: Idea via… somebody who I am waiting for an email back from before I give credit.

PPS: For those wondering about the math: 5.53 million adults in VA; that many six-packs at $7.99 works out to around $44.19 million. Plus, of course, you’d need a 10% administration fee. All in all, I think this is quite reasonable over a one year period: the top two microbreweries in Virginia (Rock Bottom & Old Dominion) can handle over half of the required capacity, and Fordham & Legend Brewing could do most of the rest. We’d need about four or five small microbreweries to take up the remaining slack (700K six packs), but negotiations could be made.

Hey, this is no sillier than what they’d actually spend the money on.

I sent in a proposal

I own 2 preschools and want to open another. I sent in a proposal to open another preschool. I want a loan, not a gift. And if they were to say I’ll give you this money if you do this or that. I say hell no. I am certain I could qualify for a small business loan from my bank. But I thought it would be interesting to find out what they plan to do with this money and what requirements they have. Stay tuned.

P.S. Fire away.

Virginia Popcorn (VP)

The good people of Virginia are running out of popcorn as they watch the new hit TV comedy show “Obama and his droogs.” Accordingly, I propose a four year supply of popcorn be purchased and distributed to every man, woman, and child in Virginia.

I submitted 4 project proposals

1. final elimination of car tax
2. incentives for immediate off shore drilling and LNG terminal
3. incentives for clean coal OR new coal plants witgh scrubbers
4 a Virginia census to do a real headcount for redistricting purposes to run in parallel with federal census now that Obama-rama has seized census responsibilities from Commerce Department and wil likely go with bogus estimating
