since you raised it... the U.S. government's primary concern is making

The roads must be paved by magic. Every time I pass one of the road
crews, most of the workers are just standing around. You know where I
live and you are familiar with the entrance ramp from County Rd. 111
onto the westbound LIE. A second lane of the on-ramp is being added, a
short one. Construction has been on-going sine June and it's still not
complete. Most Long Islanders will agree that road work is done in a
very inefficient way, taking far too long for the projects to complete.

Every level of government can do with less but there is no incentive
when they can simply raise taxes. The federal government has had record
tax receipts year after year. At what point is "enough, enough"?

Per PAS:

concern is how to separate the citizens from their money.

I tell people who think government is such a bad thing to their next
vacation in beautiful, downtown Mogadishu.... and report back on how
things are without a functioning government - if they're still alive.

Back when we were not so politically correct, there were signs that
said "Men Working" where there was road construction. I guess no one
wanted to pay for larger signs that said "Men Standing Around Leaning
on Shovels".

I see some women on he work crews. Most of the time, they are the "flag
waver". I know someone who does that, $30.00/hour to wave a flag, as if
the motorists can't tell that there is construction. Then again, we
have some of the stupidest drivers around.

We've got the construction signs too. I suspect that the use of a
flagwaver is most likely a concession to the labor union.

Te road paving and construction is done by contractors who bid on the
jobs. In most jobs the contractor does not receive final payment until
after the job is complete and inspected. Progress payments are made, but
there is a holdback pending final inspection.

The women are hired because of the minority hiring bonus clause in most
gubbmint contracts. Women are classified as minorities for certain
industrial purposes, road construction is among them. They are used for
traffic control, because of lack of training for other positions.

As to the need for traffic control, go to Traffic Court in Nassau
County. They have a continuously running video of various intersections,
and watch. The "I don't give a ****" attitude of those drivers cannot be
overstated.

You don't have to convince me about the type of drivers we encounter
here. As the years go by, more and more drivers become more and more
selfish, they don't care about anyone else on the road.
