Ill say this and this alone i really dont want us to go to far off here. One where did the money for the roads come from, privite individuals who earned it then turned it over to the Feds under our current tax structure. Then the gov contracted the work out to privite firms to build the road, which are private again. Anyway, if all we had in this country were dirt roads, with no pavement folks would still pay Car doc to work on their cars. The pavement is just cause we dont live in a 3rd world country. Yea its makes it faster to get stuff and cheaper etc, but the whole point is that the money that "allowed a business to succeede" came from the privite side to begin with. The FED GOVMENT does not make money it takes it and redistributes it. I agree we do need a government or else we would have total anarchy and be owned by germans if not or someone else. I myself work for the government i just dont agree with all its decesions.
I personally know of over .5 million of my agencies several million dollars that was just wasted out of the Stimulus. NO jobs were created with the make work stuff we got. It went to existing construction firms that were fully employed before and its employees would not of missed a paycheck with out the work. We did get some benefit out of it, but take our $50k boat shed. It was stimulus money, the thing is basically a pole shed open on one side, 8x8 construction and wrapped in tin, and has a 10-12" reinforced concrete pad for us to park 2 boats on the heaviest might be 4000lbs. Point is we only spent it cause we had to, a $5k metal shed would of done the same thing. I could go on, but i saw mostly waste, and this is just in my agency i can only imagine the whole thing spent that way.
