Just heard this on the newz. You know what's wrong with this picture? Who could possibly be lobbying to keep manufacturing coins that cost twice as much to make than they're worth? "Big Zinc." No shit...there is a lobbying group for everything. Including the "Pro Abe" lobby, apparently. Not even making this up. Big Zinc and Pro Abe lobbies. Meanwhile, we cut heating assistance and education and Medicare and........

The madness has got to stop.
