WHAT A SHAME

TODAY'S NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED THAT IT COST THE U.S MINT 1.67 CENTS TO MAKE A PENNY AND 9.5 CENTS TO MAKE A NICKEL. DO THE MATH WE LOSE $50 MILLION EACH YEAR BY MAKING PENNIES AND $55 MILLION MAKING THE NICKEL. NO ONE IN WASHINGTON CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER WAY TO SPEND $105 MILLION A YEAR? LET'S FEED THE HUNGRY, BUILD SOME HOSPITALS,HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE. GUESS CONGRESS IS BUSY WITH BASEBALL.
