Just playing around with the FOL. I don’t think Found Out Later is in danger of losing it’s standing.
At any rate, you and I agree on the ripping off of Medicare. As those funds are diverted, watch the government start complaining because the funds paid in are not balance out with the outlay.
They do this all the time with gasoline taxes. They take them for mass transit, then complain that the receipts are just not there. Duh!
That money had been collected out of our federal gas taxes and according to the milking machine grant writer and school administrators, "that money was just laying there waiting for someone to snatch it!"
I make my living as a self-employed out of my vehicles and this just gags me as I drive by it each day and have only seen about 2 bike riders and 3 joggers on it since it was paved about a month ago!!!
The only good thing I can see about it is that it got rid of the "Share The Road" signs with bicycles painted on them. Our state highways in these mountainous areas are no place for bicycles since there are numerous log truck, gravel trucks and tourista car barns blasting down these paved over horse trails with no shoulders on 'em!!!
Now the got a new law passed that you gotta give 'em three feet of clearance when you pass 'em… Baloney!!! Critical Mess, not "Critical Mass!"
