Should President Obama call for a free jet pack for every American?

[MannyGoldstein]

A personal vehicle, faster than a bullet train. For every American, free of charge. We'd leapfrog those foreign countries with their show-offy overstuffed high-speed rail systems.

No more dealing with congested commutes, we'll all just hurtle toward our destinations in a straight line. And they'll use fuel that will smell really nice, maybe like fresh laundry. I love that smell.

Our growing population of homeless Americans could stage air shows to earn tips.

If you think this is silly, then it is only because you lack the courage to embrace the future: I can say, with some donfidence, that this would be at least as likely to pass as the other goodies he's proposing.

9. I'd be happy with an Ultra light

At least with wings I can float to the ground rather than fall like a stone.

10. Why would anyone want a black pack from the government? If he offered colors I might think about it.

11. To be fair...
