OLD NEWS. The news wants this to be seen as a new discovery or something. This issue has existed for a long time.
It is simple. You (Mr. Politician) have $X,XXX. You can spend it on rehabbing a bridge, or starting an after-school program. You (Mr. Politician) have ambissions of re-election or running for a higher office. Which one of these is going to accomplish your goal?
The federal government is HARDLY the place to start when doing the silly-assed finger pointing that is ensuing now.
Maybe the voting public should point some fingers at themselves for accepting the horsescheisse fashion in which we elect our government officials. Does it REALLY matter what the politicians race, creed, gender, drug-use 20 years ago, position on abortion, religion in school, etc is? How about HOW THEY PLAN TO SPEND THE MONEY THAT THEY TAKE FROM YOU?!?!?!
I could have written the past 2 days worth of news myself. The world is so predictable that I should just stop bothering to open my eyes, because I don't need to.
WAH!!!! A bridge fell!!!! Whose fault is it? Why, its the president! Its the NHTSA!!! Its a government conspiracy! The mayor did it to get more federal highway funding! It has to be 100% the fault of somebody right here, right now, that we can point at and ***** at. I mean, things like this don't take 50 years of continual mismanagement and misappropriation of funds to more popular programs.
I am drowning in my own vomit and disdain. Screw every single news report on this. All garbage. All of it.
