How much does it cost to maintain a bridge? Why is it that every government contract grossly over pays for shit-tier work while the private sector comes in under-budget with better, nicer, more upscale results? Walk into any DMV and tell me your tax money isn't being thrown away.... People are beyond over taxed for programs they'll never see the benefits of by people that hate them and only view them as a means to an end. I'm not saying to do away with government, I'm saying we've grown too much and need to trim A LOT of fat. I guarantee any private company would maintain a bridge or a road or any public structure far better than any government entity could.
