Where does it end? Ship our armed forces off to Iraq and pillage our nation while it is distracted. This is utter madness! We better unite soon to put an end to this looting. We are sliding into the abyss. :grr:

America's Highways for Sale

The United States Constitution says that the government shall 'provide for the common Defence and general Welfare. ' There is similar language in almost every state constitution.

Meanwhile, from Chicago to Texas, cities and states are selling off (or leasing for 99 years which is the same thing), vital bridges and toll roads.

Foreign companies buying U.S. roads, bridges

6. Thanks for the posts
We need to make a detailed inventory of their crimes against nature in just 6 short years. I did that one time, somewhere here-but I can't find it now.
Some of us should work together to make one huge thread on that. My email still holds 6 years worth of alerts.

8. I agree wholeheartedly
An inventory is absolutely necessary. I think I saw your list a month or two ago -- was a very valuable resource. I need to do more digging myself. :hi:

17. We have no goal, so it can't end
Other than the goal of everyone living the life of luxury. That level of luxury keeps going up though, so nobody can actually catch up, so we can't stop.

If we ever do reach the point where ever person lives the good life, we still can't stop, because if we did, things would start to fall apart without that constant work. After we attain perfection, all we can do is improve on it. It can never end.
