It seems that in each and every gvt expenditure, no one actually “does the math”.

Recently I saw that something like $1.5 mil was dedicated to installing a fence on a bridge over an interstate around here (N.E Ohio).

Small potatoes, right? Think aobut that. That bridge is probably no more than a 1000 ft long.

If you do both sides (i.e. 2000 ft) that means the fence costs $750 per foot.

No one thinks anynmore.

$500 per foot required for kickbacks and payoffs.

That's right. I keep hearing the press talk about how much the taxpayers now owe the federal government because of all the spending !!!
WT....??? We don't owe them anything. They're the ones doing the spending. They owe us, and I want to know when we're going to get our trillions back.
