Taxing the remainder of the already overburdened citizens has always been our governments answer, but that won’t work. The federal government is currently getting ready to send those people checks so that they can go to the mall or hang on to their homes.

 

Why do you think that our infrastructure is in the poor condition? No money and no ability to further raise taxes in an already failing economy would be my best guess.

 

The massive infrastructure in the U.S. was built in our heyday years of high paying job creation in industry and agriculture production. But more importantly, it was built with dollars that were real dollars based on something other than the government’s ability to collect taxes and run a printing press.

 

Repairing and rebuilding our national infrastructure with today’s inflated dollars, a shrinking job market, and an already overtaxed citizenry; may prove a virtual and mathematical impossibly. What do you think?
