Highway wont last 30 years
In the southeast corner of Marion county this past Thursday morning. I started to see how some of the money Governor Culver and the Democrats borrowed going to work. The road to the small town of Bussey population 500. Which is approximately 5 miles long was stripped of the old asphalt surface. Maybe this was a needed repair but 5 miles worth? I would have been pleasantly pleased if they had repaired the bad spots and the pot holes and the dips. I sat here in my home and watched them rip up the old road thinking there is no way the new road surface when the new black top is done will be around 30 years from now when the money our leaders borrowed is to be finally paid off. I would bet ya it won’t last 5 years as it has alot of semi traffic coming off Highway 5 cutting through the area on the way down to Cargill at Eddyville Iowa. My friend came over I told him his son who is 9 would probably have to help pay this off for 21 years after he turns 18. Its sad to think there are babys not even born yet thats going to be saddled to paying off money to repair things that will be worn out long before they are born. And all our Democratic leaders could say was quote ” I hope no children have to pay for this”. If you look at it this way no children will pay for this now but any child born in Iowa for the next 12 years could very possibly pay on it. Im sure these kids will be over joyed once they get into their teenage years to discover that in a few years their tax money will be going towards paying off a debt they didn’t even create. And alot of the stuff done with the money is already worn out and needs repaired or replaced again. Im glad they are so thoughtful of the future of Iowa’s children. Spending it before they are even born.
