Let's talk about how the roads around here are PISS POOR, and an embarassment.

[GP For Life]

Yes, but some roads don't benefit me. I want only the roads that benefit me directly to be funded. Then the roads that ARE funded will be paved with gold.

I mean, we all benefit from the roads through economic activity and the goods and services they transport. That said, the roads we use most often should be paved with gold and broken dreams of the proletariat.

Except when the starving proletariat break down your door, rape your sister, and string you up by your basketball hoop in front of the garage. Perhaps during your last moments alive, you may realize you should have funded social programs a bit more. No worries. Happened to Louis XVI, so you'd be in good company.

The last one through the door maybe. The first-28 [[never load all 30 in a mag) will be greeted with a 5.56 to the face.

That's nice, dear. Shhh. The adults are talking about grown-up stuff. Play with your toys quietly.

How about this? Instead of complaining about which to fund, we fund both, with the same dollars.

This is actually serious. As a condition of receiving state assistance recipients have to serve two days a week at their local county road commission? The amount of time they serve will gradually increase to full-time [[over years) the longer they remain on public assistance.

Bam! Better roads and less proles on the public dole, yo! Obviously, not for those on disability, etc.

Edit: Another thing I had suggested before is sending prisoners out on the roads with wheelbarrows full of cold patch. Similar idea.

In both those scenarios...the rub is in "work for welfare" and chain gangs, you've now just replaced paying jobs with indentured servitude and created a whole new sector of unemployment.

They actually do this in places like Denmark, where abject socialism actually works. We already have an underclass of ne'er-do-wells, we might as put them to use.

Also, keep in mind I am not talking about workhouse program. It starts off as almost a volunteer program then ramps up to a serious disincentive, but all while maintaining the same level of benefits.

We need to redirect the underclasses in America to more productive pursuits.

Hey, GP For Life's chain gang can build

Agreed.. the only real purpose of those programs is to placate and buy civil peace. none are actually meant to address "poverty".

however, as they say...you can pay the Danegeld, but you never get rid of the Danes. so maybe GP has a bit of a point there.
