In 2012...our govt. won't even allow the Keystone Pipeline (which would be a huge economic boom) to be built.
IF the Hoover Dam were to be attempted today...it would never be built because of the E.P.A. (environmental protection agency) And Congress wouldn't even consider it because Democrats would NEVER vote against environmentalists groups (thus the loss of jobs and money from the Keystone Pipeline)
I watched all of that on The History Channel by the way. lol
And yes, they said that it would not be built in "modern" times because ecologists would block it.
Hope that answers that for you.  |
There you go. Without the Government industry would turn all the beauty spots into malls. Because malls make more money.
Wasn't it the local Government who issued the Gaming Licenses for Vegas?
Without these controls elsewhere, no one would go to Vegas to gamble and it would turn back to the place it was before gambling.
List some of the major things the Government does and then tell us where and how you would cut them. Incidently a lot of Overseas Aid goes to despots around the world who bank it in US banks. And keep the country pro Western.
