Yeah, but we'd be getting something visible for it. Or at least
I hope we would.
And it's not just California. All over the country roads, highways,
bridges, water systems, schools, the electric grid, etc, etc, etc have
suffered the 'benign neglect' of deferred maintenance while big, bold,
and futuristic projects were emphasized. Well, now the chickens are
coming home to roost and our world is falling down around us. I'd much
rather see us repair what we've already built than build something new,
big, and bold that will disintegrate before its time.
Government is bankrupt. I agree with your overambitious
projects, but foolish wars and foolish tax cuts are a vastly
bigger drain on the ability of governments to do anything.
Wars are never foolish. Tax cuts are also never foolish. It gives the
citizens of this country more money to spend.
