Congress has passed a proposal to require the federal government to purchase only American flags that have been completely manufactured in the U.S. The U.S. imports millions of American flags from overseas, mostly from China, and the sponsors of the proposal said it’s time for American flags to originate in the country they represent.
Supporters of the proposal, led by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, said the change is more than just symbolic — they believe it will support American jobs and manufacturers while preserving the nation’s most recognized banner.

We could also treat drug addiction as a medical problem and not a crime, and prohibit drug testing in exchange for social services.
That works real well for California, doesn’t it?

Um… yeah actually, it does.
But please, keep believing all the ridiculous conservative propaganda about California so the rest of us can continue to enjoy it.
