David, I guess I'd be an "outlying" data point. Although my company bills for only eight hours per day, and although my co-worker and I have been told repeatedly, that we are forbidden from working more than eight, we routinely work a bare minimum of 10, and more often 12 or 14. I'm about as liberal a poster as you'll find here, and my co-worker makes me look like Stalin.

As I've said before, I'd rather pay more taxes. Just like I do not fix broken cables on the 911 with duct tape, I also do not think that the underfunded, haphazard way we deal with infrastructure needs is either appropriate or effective. Rather than paying $10 per year to keep an office functioning poorly and see the problem continue, I'd rather pay the $50 now, get rid of the problem once and for all. But that's not the "American" way. So, we all get to ***** about how poorly things run. You might ***** about it costing too much. I ***** about the problems not getting fixed because we seem to be committed to mediocrity. Liberals believe that what works with Porsches and other car, and everything else for that matter, also works for government. That is the old addage "You get what you pay for." Apparently, at least one group thinks that government is not subject to this principle?
