Everywhere the state builders, the government growers have built buildings, roads, bridges, social programs that we can not maintain.
It’s like a once wealthy person that still has the estate, the yacht at the end of the dock, the garage full of exotic cars but has let the staff go because they no longer have the income needed to maintain everything.
We have trillions of dollars in government employee pensions coming due. Many towns face the choice of pensions, or basic services. My bet is that the pay off pensions first.
Remember all the "Homeland Security" bucks that were being passed out a while back? A wholebunchalotta counties and municipalities here in WV just had to have big, expensive Haz-Mat rigs............then came the bills for maintenance.....
