Hold onto your wallets and your country folks.....the OLIGARCHS are coming!!

Larry Kudlow, a NYC right wing neocon CNBC capitalist pork and corporate welfare promoter on CNBC, is tonight talking about the opportunities that are offered by private takeover of our highway and bridge infrastructure. The words between the lines are that the bridge failure in Minneapolis is because the USA cannot afford to keep our infra-structured maintained unless capitalists and big business own and profit from them.

A rep from the US Chamber of Commerce and Geoffrey Segal of http://www.reason.org/segal.shtml are there aiding and abetting Kudlow's rationale.

Folks......this is how it all began in Russia with their shrewd and connected oligarchs that stole the country's assets at pennies on the dollar from the citizens via corrupt politicians.

Unless the American public takes a major stand ( truthfully it may take marching in the streets) against the elitists, we will have our taxpayer assets and infrastructure stolen by the very rich. The figurative burning of our country's furniture and a yard sale of our assets provides only short term revenue relief for taxpayers. What will come next is a charge and toll for everything that taxpayers have already paid for.

is privatization such a good idea after all?

Methinks not necessarily, but whatever happens happens.



* it's not a total excuse, but it's been an often said excuse; "I will run the government like a business".

Lucent Technologies?"

Choose your own area failures.

taxes that corporations are after.

the money never runs out -- if you can take it over.

When I was in Japan I was amazed to see how much it cost to travel their highways just in tolls, the highways were always empty simply because it was cheaper to travel by mass transit. When private companies try to turn profit on highways and bridges it will lead people to use other methods of transportation mainly mass transit.

Gov. Rendell believes that ALL of PA should subsidize those in Philadelphia that have mass transit via SEPTA.

I could be wrong but I believe biased political partisanship contributes more to the problem than it solves. Rendell wants to give all of PA's assets to his cronyist buddies so that they can buy a 10th home in Polynesia. Next is the Turnpike.

I try not to look at politics or partisanship....I try to look at what is fair and what most Americans want.

just such a bill. Involve Banks and Hedgfunds.

There will be "fees fees and more fees".IMO.

I was surprised that Dodd would come out with something
like this while a candidate. Thinks we are stupid.
He thinks it great because he will not have to raise
taxes. The Government has to guarentee protections
to the Banks and Hedgefunds. That will be our tax money.

The Private Sector does not have a great record
of accomplishment.
