Don't imagine this thread will last long.
My town of under 15,000 was offered $150,000 grant to build a bike trail from an unused park on the river behind a grain elevator to another lightly used park on the river 1.5 miles away.
Now if my town wants a bike trail, great build it. But it wasn't about the trail, it was about getting the 'free' govt money.
How many of these projects are out there? Let taxpayers keep their money, and spend it on local projects like this if the want is there.
You know every electric/hybred car the govt is kicking in about $7000 a piece to make them afforable.
You know the govt is paying about 1/3 of the cost of every electric windmill put up.
We cannot tax our way out of this. Govt can't collect more than about 20%, and they are very close to that now.
We can inflate our money like crazy so we have 10x as much money floating around to pay off the trillions - but all our savings will be devalued to 1/10th....
We can make businesses feel confident the govt won't slap taxes on them; won't end their business with increasing regulations; won't kill their buisness with labor laws. But we are going the _opposite_ direction there, look at DOT, EPA, etc.
We can cut govt spending. Look at the agony congress had trying to cut about 1% of the preposed govt increased spending and arguing over an imaganary make believe deby limit number.... How is anything going to be cut or change?????
