Re: Yay?
rradina good point.
However, I have NO fixed wireless available to me. There is some but its more miles away than DSL/cable and complete CRAP!
America can't even fix itself, we shouldn't try to do any more Iraqs unless were almost positive they have nukes, I'd rather pay more taxes and not have been nuked. |

| Do you have cell data plans in your area? I know they aren't cheap and they aren't unlimited but even living in small towns offers advantages that cannot be delivered to truly rural areas. Likewise, the wide open spaces and pin-drop silence of a country house is often cherished by those in crowded suburbia.
But I do understand your point about waste. I would certainly agree that funding rural infrastructure (whatever that might be, broadband, HSI, telephone, water, sewer, electric, etc.) is far smarter than many of our government's past and present policies.
I watched a show on Discovery/TLC/History/NGEO (forget which) about a new station in the Antarctic. I'm sure we spent some serious cash there while folks here in the U.S. do without health care.
Now just so you don't think I'm a bleeding heart liberal (hahaha -- I made myself laugh), I'm not suggesting we reallocate those funds for national health care. I'm suggesting we could cut waste and lower everyone's taxes. Or if we don't lower taxes, perhaps we could pay off our national debt. There are a lot of economists that believe our debt is a big burden on our economy. |
