I don't know about private roads. If they work great, but in the meanwhile I would like government to do some real highway improvements.
I wasn't "patronizing"you at all;rather,I was telling you what to do to get up to speed.When you post without knowledge,you're in big trouble here.And we don't have "dialogs" here.That's a PC/LIBERAL term.We debate,we refute,and we even tell newbies where to find the facts. :-)
You now want trade to come to a standstill? You want every single container inspected? John Kerry,is that you,or are you John Edwards?
LOL! Very few places where pot is more then a misdemeanor and punished much different then jay walking.
all that gas tax money goes into the general fund
600,000 being .05% would mean there'd be 1.2 billion voters. Do you mean 0.5%? Even then there'd be 120 million, which I suppose is possible but only 108 million voted in 2000.
That would be consistent with the latest numbers of new voters signed up by the DNC.
He's raised a measly million dollars and you think that he needed Soros to do that? A dollar or two from each member of the party and a few more from those who are leaning that way and you got a million pretty quick. Compared to the GOP's $150 million (or whatever they are up to now), why are you seemingly so concerned about them?
There sure is an awful lot of fuss, worry, and speculation for 600,000 or even a million votes. So which is it? Are they a threat or are they a flea on an elephant? You seem to want it both ways.
No one owes their vote to the GOP or to the Dems. They have to earn them. With half of eligible voters not voting, and half of those voting, not voting for the GOP, it would seem that the GOP is attracting only about 25% of the electorate. Perhaps we (yes, I'm a Republican) should figure out why we don't appeal to more people.
I predict Badnarik will be third. Nader and David Cobb will split each other votes. Bush hasn't angered the social conservatives, he stood strong on embronic stem cells and support the Federal Marriage Amendment, so not many will vote for Peroutka. Bush has however angered some fiscal/economic conservatives and some might vote for Bednarik.
They've just privatized a portion of the Chicago Skyway.It's going to NOT work.Trust me...if I were a betting person,I would bet you on this one;it's a sure thing and I'd be taking candy from a baby.
Please do some reseach on this one.Look specifically at corduroy roads and tolls...if I remember correctly from my high school American history classes and I'm certain I do.Worst cases were in PA.and N.Y. state,if I recall.
Is that true? Gas tax simply ends up in general revenue? Well so does social security, so that doesn't surprise me.
Too bad the Saudis don't have him.
These folks have absolute NO knowledge about the topic and use the same damned talking points.Sheeeeeeeeeesh!
I think this is part of the 2 party mentality that exists in America. There is some hope in the young.
They let a private company build a road near DC but of course the government threw all sorts of regulations and mandates on it. It would be much better without that.
The feds give it back to the states and most states put it into the general fund. I doubt it all gets spent on roads.
Okay kid,it's late,you don't even know what you've posted,you lack even a minnimum of factual knowledge,and I'm not going to play teacher.When/if you ever manage to acquired factual historical knowledge,get back to me.Until then,lots and lots of other Freepers can and shall easily refute your juvenalia.
No, but they could find them or at least know exactly where he is. And if not him, then they can hand over every cleric preaching hate and every active terrorist.
I don't think we should privatize roads that already exist and are supposed to have been paid for by taxpayers.
