President Trump

[Catatonic]

Ike built the Interstates after using the Autobahn in Europe .
He saw it as a quicker way to move troops than using railroads .

As an aside ... I always heard that the Interstate system required 1 mile in every 5 to be straight so it could be used as an airstrip. This is false.

You go to sleep dude.
You complain about a government helping the "unfit". But think nothing of them helping you travel from hippy concert to hippy concert

This is a site for UPSers so let's keep this consistent.
It is the "least most fit".

Now back to Trump .

By asking Congress to investigate the same wire taps that the NYT wrote about and that many democrats have stated exist , he forces the anti-Trump crowd into a corner .

Last week they said he was a Russian tool because they had proof from the wire taps and now they are trying to say he's lying about the wire taps .

Which is it ?

Don't expect any answers soon because Congress will act slowly on his request .

Yes they should if private enterprise does not build.
Infrastructure tends to benefit all members of society.
I feel that the infrastructure of highways should be paid for by the users of the highway or tolls or vehicle taxes.

I haven't had kids in school for many years. I don't want to pay school taxes.

I rather see my tax money go to more ambulance services .
Close to $2,000 per trip and medicare only reimburse about $ 435 , meaning taxpayers pick up the rest .

The $1,565 is written off.

Yes .

Our local fire chief was on the community channel recently explaining it .
Private insurance will cover all costs , but medicare's set rate is only $ 435 .

A lot of it went to the Taliban for safe passages thru areas for our supply trucks .

Well.....which is it? Is the $1,565 written off or do the taxpayers pay the balance?

 

[Sportello]

I just hope to hell Trump does something about all of this.

 

[Babagounj]

It is covered by the Fire Dept's budget .
Thus taxpayers pick up the costs .
