I know our country is not what it was back in the 90's and on my way to work yesterday, I had to stop in traffic. they were putting up new guardrail, and as I was looking at the guardrail they were taking down, I though it isn't as bright and shinee as the new, but it's such a waste of money to chance it. it would last another 50 or 75 years at least. and all I hear is tax dollars wasted, and I was thinking there are so many people in the country that need a job, without spending tax dollars on things that are wasteful. how could they make jobs for everyone. I guess it's where our family pay check comes from, where it looks like it's a waste of tax dollars or not. theres a lot of things, that I could list as a waste of tax dollars, but if any one of the items on the list was something that I worked at, to bring home a paycheck to feed my kids and pay my bills. I wouldn't think it to be a waste of tax dollars. I have no idea what it will take to fix our broken country, and I don't think the rich guys in washington does either. when I think of wasted tax dollars, the main thing that comes to mind is, the amount of tax dollars that have been spent in the last 12 years on the wars going on. I don't know the total over the last 12 years, but I did see a news statment, that said the total tax dollars spent for the year 2010 was 700 Billion yes with a B.
