[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by zapp I must agree, why should the general public pay for somehting,that the vast majority of the populas will never utilize? When and where did the American people begin to assume that the federal goverment should pay for all local projects? Was it the Transcontinental railroad or was it the projects that were created during the Depression of the 1930's? Either way we have become dependent on our federal goverment to pave our driveway. The small town I live in has really grown in the past few years. New business' have been popping up left and right,but the city fathers have done nothing about our infastructure,why,because they are waiting for the state and federal goverments to come up and do their part, then see how much the city will have to ante up with. We all have the power to stop pork barrel spending: VOTE! [/quote] [/quote] Right on! And one of the more nonsensical arguments I hear to the question of "why should the gov't pay?" usually goes along the lines of "well the gov't subsidizes air and highway, so they owe it to rail" (Or some similar nonsense) which to me sounds like they are saying "well your son is addicted to heroin, maybe he should try crack too?
