Property Rights activist and ranger, Wayne Hage said, "Either you have the right to own property or you are property." The backbone of the plan was a call for "public/private partnerships."

Sustainable Development is not freedom. Not one of the three principles apply.

Because of a public/private partnership, one million Texans are about to lose their land for the Trans Texas Corridor

One million? You have a source or is this your estimate?

The U.S. has lost some 1.5 million jobs

Since NAFTA we've gained nearly 25 million jobs.

Trading an educated non criminal employee who has a $50 an hour job for a $7 an hr criminal employee who doesn’t speak English, with no medical, who is a drain on society due to his entire families lack of education. That’s not a good trade.

We added 25 million $7 hr jobs all filled by criminals? You have any back up or is this your guess?

How many illegals do we have in America today? 25 million at least. Add in the anchor babies and it probably goes to 35 million.

I don't know.

25 million at least. Add in the anchor babies and it probably goes to 35 million.

If you say so.

So you can prove that all 25 million jobs created since NAFTA went to illegals?

Are the 25 million illegals unemployed?
They wouldn’t be here if they were.
Quasi-slave labor is appealing to many employers.

Protected from competition, the railroad will set the costs and the shipping rules. And it will get very rich, no matter the quality of service. All because of whom its owner knows. Ayn Rand called it the power of pull. That is not free enterprise.

At an April, 2007 meeting in Calgary, Canada, as part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, government officials, business leaders and academics met to discuss redistributing Canada's water to Mexico and the U.S. Southwest.

Canada has water, lots of it, and the public/private partnerships of the SPP are swarming on it like locusts as they seek to drain it out of Canada's rivers and lakes and ship it to potential profit centers south of the Canadian border.

The Trans Texas Corridor will provide water pipelines for the shipping and PPPs will buy up the rights and dispose of the water as they see fit.

Thanks again for the pings, Cal, BQ, and hedgie. Sorry if my ping is a repeat....but this ENTIRE article is a MUST READ!

To expand on that, I would like to point out something troubling.

Many states are involved with sales (or ‘monetization’) of their toll roads.

The recent bridge collapse has had a ripple effect I’ve not seen anyone explore.

Our state, who is also involved with a toll road monetization project, has ordered review of all our bridges for safety.

Of course, our state has no money to fix these bridges.

The toll road monetization plans has non-compete clauses.

These non-compete clauses protects the sold roads from competition. Exactly like the railroad example you just posted.

My guess is, the recent bridge collapse will probably perminently shut down all the access roads except for the sold roads.

And, the road sales are for toll roads. That means, if more access is needed other than the already established roads, a toll will just go up on it.

So now you’re claiming that all 25 million jobs created since NAFTA went to illegals?

Czar and I were just having a short discussion on this very matter a couple weeks ago re a Thomas Sowell article with which I disagreed with his opinion that U.S. infracstruture should be privitized. Czar...please read this entire article and Cal's post #50....time allowing. These reasons are exactly WHY I disagree with privitzing ANY U.S. infrastructure....

Especially with non-compete clauses.

Thank you for the ping.

This is a very precisely written article. I would implore every member here to take ten minutes to read and absorbe what the author is saying.

One thing that ‘glared’ at me was the subject of eminent domain - possibly the most dangerous and frightening law the SCOTUS ever passed.

The Supreme Court doesn't pass laws.

I’d say the first half of the article is profound.

The second half applies that utter profundity against the utter insanity as it reveals what the three traitorous governments are doing while the citizenry either sleeps or cheers it on.

Oh, the Supreme Court passes case laws. That makes much more sense. LOL!
