I just have doubts as to whose benefit is really benefitted. Contractors whether it be for hospitals, highways, schools, airports or what ever have only their ledgers and bottom lines in mind. I have no squash with the government playing footsey-richy with contractors for government lands. However, I have seen how government people do favors for so called makers and shakers who use such people to enrich selected persons. I don’t have to kid myself about judges being part of the societal scams. As far as Trump’s expressions go he seems to fit the mold of government above all including ordinary persons if the price is right. I still think Trump is the best person on the POTUSA list as of today.
All kinds of chicanery is built into politicians. That is why I will go along with eminent domain IF the property owner has easy (meaning no cost) access to a court. It should never come down as a decree from the Gov’t with no recourse to review by a court.
