'seems that all sealanes on this particular part 'o the forum often lead to the same port. thar be alotta services provided fer by the government. a huge armed forces, lots and lots and lots 'o services fer retired old sea dogs who be scramblin' fer some sense 'o dignity in their final years, interest on all the gold we be borrowin'....thats 70% 'o the budget right thar. we're deep in hock, matey, and if taxes aren't goin' to be raised, how on earth will this stuff be paid fer?
at the same time, the nation's infrastructure, from all accounts, needs fixin'. i asks meself, "why does it need so much fixin'?" we've just come outta 20 years or so 'o prosperity...all that monies we were swimmin' in and the infrastructure be crumblin'??? how did that happen?
ahhh well...
i'd say we ought to help out the US steel industry, 'specially if what they're askin' fer is a commitment fer what mr. obama has already pledged to do.
i just don't see, though, how 1 trillion dollars be possible, even if its fer the best 'o causes.

much as with those levees in NOLA. money allocated was diverted to sexier vote buying programs.
its always the same answer mate, the government buys votes and rewards cronies. f we're lucky, they protect us from them what would see us dead.
