[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jeaton TheAntiGates I don't mean to say that this isn't an interesting topic, but as nanaimo noted, your tax dollars probably won't be tapped for a new siding somewhere. Jay [/quote] well, thank goodness for that!! [;)] Still, I never underestimate the gullibility if the public at large to spend "somone elses money" for even the slightest of benefits. There are some pigheaded oafs among us, or as my granny used to say 'spoons in the knife drawer'... [:D] I shudder to think how many people would gladly spend $200 million of "somone elses money" if they were sold on the idea that by (hypothetical example) paying to double up a SP line through town, they will eliminate a 4 1/2 minute wait each day on their way home from work. To a guy who cannot control the funds anyway, it MIGHT be sold to him as a great idea.....the best payback for $200 million of money not his own that he will ever see. Yet look at who REALLY would prosper from such a public dole... granted, this hypothetical scenario depends upon a crooked politician secretly in kahoots with the benefitting railroad, trying to con the public into cooperation...but I don't think that such a scenario is totally unthinkable. Big money and big government are old friends..
