Stop your whining about “investing in the infrastructure”, liberal words for TAXES

Right now 90%+ of ALL tax revenue goes to employees, if it were only 70% we could use the other 20%+ to rebuild the roads highways streets bridges you name it……

Evan though the German publication has some valid points, a bit of humility should be the order of the day. The butchers in their history are not that long ago. If they would like to give us some aid, it would be of help. The possibility of that happening is less than remote. A much greater probabilty is that sickness in their character will show itself in the next 50 years, and that the USA will have to save the day again for the Europeans, from themselves or whatever threat raises its head.

Stop your whining about “investing in the infrastructure”, liberal words for TAXES. If government at all levels sought to use it funds wisely over the years we would not be in this mess. The idea that somehow we can sustain the waste in government now, and add to it with more taxes is LUNACY. Suck it Buckwheat – it’s time to cut the size of government!

The question never asked (by the MSM, at any rate):

“….Maybe the mayor of a smallish Southern California city really only needed two people on his staff in the first place?….”

I went to Catholic grammar school in Ventura County in the late 60s-early 70s. Grades 1-8. Over 700 students. All overseen by: One principal and one administrative assistant.

Talk a walk into your local school and tell me if you see anything remotely approaching that level of staffing efficiency.

We’ve been told since the Goldwater era that this whole Big Government construct is ultimately unsustainable. Most of us at CWD understand that. Maybe others will start listening now too.

“The situation is a catastrophe for everyone who hasn’t packed up and moved away. It is also representative of the bankruptcy of a country that failed to use its prosperous decades to sustain a functioning government. Funds are short at all levels, from Washington to the states to the cities and towns. The US is no longer investing in its infrastructure, weakening the foundation that gives all Americans a chance to have a piece of the American Dream.”

That was awesome, on the money, so true.
