1015 news today reported that “they’re beginning work on the Menlo Park trainstation … (insert big number of millions of dollars)… (long litany of improvements) … paid for mostly with Federal money”.
“FEDERAL MONEY”!!!
There ain’t no such thing.
It’s generally conceded that NJ PAYS far in excess of Federal Taxes than it receives back in Federal benefits. That in itself is a losing proposition!
So it’s money stolen from NEW JERSEY taxpayers. It’s THEIR money.
It’s also generally conceded that GOOFERMENT takes between one quarter and three quarters for itself — a handling fee — for its own expenses.
SO, we send double the amount to Washington for the privilege of getting half back for a train station.
Shouldn’t we have just done it our self and cut out the handling fee?
Better idea. Get the Gooferment out of mass transit entirely.
When McDonald’s improves its restaurant, I don’t pay them to do it. Do I?
Argh!
