Who'll Build the Roads?

I don't want to come off as snide. But without ranchers and farmers we have no food and I no longer trust the government to be fair. They are tyrants. Bureaucrats that can't see past the end of their noses.

As for the east coast, you know I feel for those who don't keep voting the crooks in, but seriously, it's a much bigger problem then just building a road back there.

NYC alone, unions, bureaucrats, organized crime and politicians all have to get paid before any concrete gets mixed. Like I said I feel for Conservatives in that area. I would strongly suggest getting the heck out of there. Leave it to the rats.

You’re not...I don’t have a problem with ranchers and farmers either, but unless we have a collective means to obtain land needed for public purposes we simply can’t have a functional country. Obviously it has to be done in a fair manner...but it has to be done. An extreme example could be trying to build that highway from Houston to Dallas, and then simply giving up because the parcels would not be made available. Everyone living in Houston and needing to drive to Dallas (trucks, everyone) would be forced to divert to San Antonio, doubling or tripling their distance. It just can’t work.
