I sat and watched “Parking Wars” on the history channel yesterday. Interesting that it was in Detroit. Here was some mother...whose son had parked the family car at the wrong spot, and it was a handicapped location. Total fine? Over $1,000. Mom had to go down and get a payment plan....and admitted that she’d never be able to pay this off. And you look around Detroit at all of these people with just enough income to survive, and that’s it. A payment plan for twelve months probably.

And a $160m rail screw-job is the best that the administration could offer them? I just don’t get it.

With mentality of liberalism running the show, you have total chaos. Nothing makes sense. Good is bad; bad is good; up is down; down is up.

That is one of the things that is a pet peeve of mine these days. I remember reading some years ago that 50 years ago the average civil infraction fine averaged 4 hours wages, and had increased to 10. It's probably worse now.

A seat belt ticket in Texas is $200. How do you justify taking nearly half of Joe Hammer Swinger's check for a seat belt violation?
