Re: Useless Congress

If the Rural Broadband Program is not doing its job, then why is it still being funded? Congress could easily resolve the problem of money being wasted by cutting the funding.
Looks good on paper, but...

1. It still doesn't recover the already misspent money.

2. It still leaves rural citizens out in the cold.

Normally I'd say that it's time to give it to the DOJ, so they can start taking names, freezing bank accounts and handing down indictments. But I hear that they're too busy separating the "loyal Bushies" from the chaff to bother with their sworn duties Maybe the states can do something using local fraud statutes to seize the bogus loan money. MOF, they can just call it "drug money" and avoid due process altogether. Kind of ironic, though--using an illegal law to do Good. LOL

So basically, you are proposing that we do more of the same with this program and hope for a different outcome?

Whatever happened to people who want something investing their own money in a private venture to make it happen? Isn't that how things used to get done in this country?

Did I write anything like that? Please read what I wrote.

What happened was Big Business and corporate welfare, but that's OT. Do you have an on-topic point here?
