The Cost Of Being A Political Junkie

As most of you know I follow politics quite closely. I am not aligned with any one particular political party, but I do find it easier to pick on the party that is in control at the time.

This week, the House of Representatives will be voting on the Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008. Do you know how much Printer Ink I have gone through printing different parts of this bill so I can read it and learn what they are trying to do?

I printed so much I ran out of ink on our inkjet printer and I had to switch over to our black and white laser printer, but after just two printings of this bill (over 600 pages each), I am going to be looking for Toner Cartridges very quickly.

If I was smart, I would have printed one copy and then gone to a copy center to get a couple copies made. Heck, it might even be cheaper for me to buy a small copier, because xerox printer ink has to be cheaper than the printer ink or the toner cartridges.

Either way, I am no prepared for when the Senate brings the bill up for debate, and you can bet your bippy I will be contacting my Senator before too long.
