I’d prefer tax dollars be spent on real tangible projects as opposed to being loaded onto an EBT card so a 250lb white male driving a late model F-250 can buy an Arizona Iced Tea and a Slim Jim.
Saw that yesterday and it disturbed me.
I am voting for Donald, but he really needs to get a bit more consistent in his plans. And when the debates get here he really needs to translate to citizens how money works in the building and construction fields. How municipalities fund projects, the effects of interest rates, the impact of jobs created.
Forget her crappy character. Make her look like an ill informed housewife who should be baking cookies instead of managing the money.
The feds gave my city $300M to build a “high speed rail” STATION! Not an actual high speed rail system, but the dam station! Now, the city looked at that as “free money” and loved being able to hire their buddies for the contracts.
Ooops, it’s done and now they realize that it will cost $10M a year to operate and maintain....They didn’t plan for that in their annual budget planning and now they are begging for milage increases! Idiots.
Oh, and we already had an existing train station that was perfectly capable of handling the few Amtrack customers that wanted to take the train for 4 hours from Detroit to Chicago! So, yes, every time I drive past that station I get really angry and the “stimulus” or “infrastructure spending.”
If my city wanted a new station, they should have paid for it themselves. It should not have been funded by you, and other FReepers. In the same way I shouldn’t be buying anyone Arizona Iced Teas and Slim Jims.
