You can extend that statement to EVERYTHING nowadays.

You should see the cost of all the various EPA reports just for our
airport
to extend a friggin' runway by a 1000 feet. It's incredible.

Jay, as I recall, you haven't traveled outside of the country. Too

With all their problems, the government alphabet agencies have made
this a better place to live. Have they done so in a perfectly

USA to Mexico, other 3rd world countries, or even to Europe.

You should read more.

It's not balanced at all. What's more, total stupidity in other countries
doesn't excuse blatant stupidity (or corruption) here.
