contractors may have made the actual roads but we the taxpayers paid for them and the government HIRED the contractors, the planners, every single person involved.

oh and UNION workers for the most part did the grunt work.

Thanks for the admission that government is not the source for roads, bridges or any other infrastructure in America.

i said nothing of the sort. i said they didn't do the actual building..however they ARE the SOURCE of that infrastructure and the payment comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers.

the planning is done by govt, those airheads you mentioned so graciously. the allocation of the funds to pay the contractors as well. and frequently the decision for what construction is needed comes directly from the taxpayers, at least here in california where we get to vote on such things, amend the constitution by ballot, etc.

and while you spit on those who work for the government understand that they are JOB HOLDERS AND CREATORS too. just because you have to pay into the pot that pays their wages - BECAUSE YOU GET TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD AND ENJOY THE USE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE - doesn't make them any less employed.

or course governors like your own and the fab "chief" of pennsylvania don't see it that way. so many of the jobless you moan about are those who once worked FOR YOU.[/B]

That's right, the gov-ment didn't build a road, didn't build a bridge, didn't supply the concrete, didn't supply the asphalt, didn't supply the steel, didn't supply the trucks, cranes, graders, bulldozers, didn't supply the engineers or the construction crews.

The private sector built that. The private sector made up of individually owned or corporately owned BUSINESSES built that.

If you own a business....YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT...SOMEONE ELSE BUILT THAT

meanwhile jwhop is busy pretending that the govt doesn't plan, commission, pay for and coordinate all those projects it "has nothing to do with", you know the state, county, interstate roads and highways we all drive on, the organization we all depend on, etc.

it is true that government makes mistakes and suffers from fraud. SO DOES EVERY OTHER ORGANIZATION that has ever been created. the difference is that the government is basically US combined, and the private corps and organizations are not. therefore the government is answerable to us and koch bros etc are not.

perhaps you would like to point out an example of a road or bridge that was built privately -that is, not commissioned or paid for by the governement - but is used by the general public?

or some private individual who is capable of paying those contractors for something like, say, route 66?

And, O'Bomber didn't build a single one of them...or anything else for that matter.

I'm not in the least surprised you don't know this katatonic but the US has a long history of privately built, financed and maintained roads dating back to colonial times

my father privately built our driveway, too. that is not the same as a national network of roads paid for with govt (our) dollars which make delivery and general communications so efficient.

it also pays congress an arm and a leg in pensions and salaries in a year.

the point is we are living in a country with a government and the point of a government is to develop systems that pull things into a cohesive whole.
