https://www.cbsnews.com/news/los-angeles-is-painting-some-of-its-streets-white-and-the-reasons-why-are-pretty-cool/

Los Angeles literally spends $40,000 every mile to paint their roads white!?

All in the name of global warming which we arent even sure painting the roads white would even combat. Also, cars are extremely dirty - if youve ever changed a tire, or even cleaned one, you know how dirty they are. So, the roads are gonna get black again in a very short period.

*facepalm at humanity*

Money being spent pointlessly does though. If you're gonna complain about this, it's ridiculous for you to handwave the other. It's like being worried about people tracking mud in your house while it's on fire.

CoolSeal, which is made by a company called GuardTop, helps to reflect solar rays off asphalt so that less heat is actually absorbed. And according to the Bureau of Street Services, the L.A. streets that have been rendered lighter in color with CoolSeal are 10 to 15 degrees cooler on average than the L.A. streets that have not. That, in turn, keeps the neighborhood from heating up quite as much. Buildings in the area don't need to use quite as much air conditioning, which can curb costs, benefiting residents' wallets and the environment.

Why are you ignoring this part

This topic is about what you perceive as wasteful spending that leads to growing government debt.

Trumps golfing excursions that have cost over 67 million already and his tax cuts which will add over a trillion dollars to the national debt are absolutely relevant to this subject, no matter how badly you want to cover your ears and pretend otherwise

Um, yes and I do this on a weekly basis with Hillary, and all I get is "but Hillary". Now that the shoe is on the other foot, suddenly you don't see it that way?

Ironic. I point out how you didn't care when Hillary did X thing, and I get "but Hillary", and how it shows your hypocrisy, and now the shoe is on the other foot.

Astonishing.

So is it now OKAY to point out the hypocrisy of a politician one supports and showing someone how they didn't care when he/she did it or not? I would like a definitive answer.

Are we allowed to use another politician to support our argument in favor of hypocrisy or not? It's gotta go both ways.

You can't say "but Hillary" when I'm pointing out the hypocrisy, of say, Uranium One, when you don't care about a PROVEN illegal trade, but hate Trump for "muh Russia!"

Which is it? I just want to argue on a level playing field. That's all I want.
