the government, our government, lost over $100 million in producing, minting the penny and the nickel last year and has lost similar amounts for the past 6 years. they launched a two year study to find a solution but none yet. why are there those who still want them to do more, much more? unbelievable, they would be so out of business if we had any smarts in this country but of course, they will drive themselves out of business if they don't get their financial house in order. and oh by the way, obamacare will now cost double what they said when they passed the bill, GAO says. hello, how about triple or more by next year. this entity and these legislators are so incompetent yet they are in charge of this trillion dollar business, funny, a shame, sad, scary.
