I was referring mainly to the dumb idea here that electric power generation should be in the hands of private industry. Hell the local Flicker and Flash even sells emergency generators, they don't even trust their own capabilities.

Well shit happens, Rob. Unless, of course, the government is involved. Then it's part of a Communist plot...........................

I wonder how many of the area people bitching about not getting their roads ploughed are the same gang who bitch about taxes?

Probably. They probably complain about freeloaders at the public teat too.
Oh, and the guy driving the snow plow? He damn well better speak English!

The government doesn't "build" anything. The allocate our tax dollars to private industry to "build" things.

Right. Like building highways to facilitate the movement of goods and commerce. Military contractors that build the ships, aircraft and weaponry we use to defend our shores. Airports that millions of travellers use every day to conduct their business, or visit their loved ones domestically or abroad. And the ATC system that does a remarkably good job getting them there, day after day, year after year. Maybe even a highspeed rail system that could carry passengers from city to city quickly, safely and efficiently someday.
You know ----infrastructure.
Or....We could slash funding to all of that useless shit, give everyone a fat tax cut, that they would then use to buy Chinese made goods. Then, as our infrastructure continues to crumble and our economy inexorably declines because of it, the Chinese will build highways, airports, nuclear powerplants and highspeed rail systems, moving prosperously into the twenty first century. Here in America we will be so glad we preserved our second amendment rights, because hunting by then will no longer be a hobby, it will be a necessity.
And I will be moving to China.
Screw you idiots,
Dave
