>>You just don't get it Alex. They say they'll pay for it by selling off the analog airwaves. See, that's not taxpayers' (your) money, it's theirs. They won't be getting it from your taxes, they'll be getting it by sellling off their own private property. You probably think the Government doesn't have its own private property - that any such property belongs to the citizens of the country. How foolish you are.

>>If they don't use the money for something like this, it'll either just sit around gathering dust, or the lefties will get their hands on it and end up spending it on poverty improvement or education, or health, or who knows... something else equally stupid.

>>Alex, Alex, Alex... What are we going to do with you?

>Well, you see, Alex is like most people. He has been duped into thinking he can own anything he can't hide. The truth is the government owns everything, and we pay rent. I paid one of my houses off, and the rent bill still comes each year in the form of property taxes. If I don't make those, the real owner will send the "jack booted thugs" to take it away! As for his comments on the spending, I'm on board with the politicians spending too much. However, I'll have to take issue on the corruption. I'd match this administration's record against Hillary's any day!<vbg>

Well, speaking only for ourselves, we must realise that somebody has to pay for the creation of road potholes and for municipal limo rides, and for lunches, dinners and trips to evaluate how Hawaiian beach logistics can be applied to the sub-zero snows of Toronto.
