American taxpayers should not foot the bill for infrastructure improvements around the country, the new White House chief of staff said recently.
“I don’t think raising the taxes on the American people right now is the way to go at this point of our economy," William M. Daley told Bob Schieffer of CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday.
I agree with Daley, but not for the reason given. He believes the funds should come from private sources both foreign and domestic. This is typical of politicians, never looking to cut somewhere else and or re-prioritize spending, but always going for more, more, more.
Wake up Congress, we are in a recession. You expect us to cut back when you refuse to do so yourselves. Set an example and lead for once in your overpaid privileged lives and learn to live within the budget.
I believe the federal government already takes in enough in taxes to more than cover infrastructure repairs.
Fraud and waste is where, if you look closely enough and get realistic about what you are spending money on, you will find not only enough money but you will also be able to decrease the taxes we pay you. I know that doesn’t sound very American to you, but it can be done.
Military spending reform alone would cover infrastructure as well as education costs. It has already been shown many times that educational costs could be covered for years if you reduce military spending. Also, get rid of a bunch of top heavy school administrators and top level military heads and there you will find an excess of money.
You guys don’t really need more, you just need to learn to live within your means. If you want to learn how to do this just ask poor people, we do it everyday.
