A. a lot of construction workers have been canned due to the housing slump. A lot have transferable skills.
Not around here, at least not PENNDOT, who would hold up all those rakes and shovels.
I keep hearing about the housing/financing problems but in this area they're still pounding them up as fast as they can dig the holes!
B. our interstate highway network, once the envy of the world, is crumbling.
Ours crumbled years ago, all though I don't think it was really nothing to get excited about to start with. Problem is, now the bridges are starting to follow the roads!!
C. using tax dollars to BUILD something is an investment in our future, while sending out checks for nothing just builds our national debt.
It amazes me that they don't realize that people know where that money comes from. Do they really think I'd believe they are taking out it of their own pockets just because they were feeling generous this month???
It's pitiful that those we put in charge are really dumber than the average person. Amazing what a college degree can do for ya when you aren't bright enough to do anything else.
