We are locked in a circular argument on wealth, spending, and the deficit. I guess I have reserved myself to believing that Washington/Frankfort is going to spend my money anyway, so it might as well be outside my window where I feel there is justified a need.

IMO, Arguing government fiscal responsibility is just a waste of time. Doesn't matter who is elected they won't even attempt to do what is needed to bring down the deficit and payoff of the national debt. They might campaign on it, but it's a lie.

Safe to say that reliable internet service has more uses than software engineering and learning coding. But one thing is for certain; the chances anything will move into EKY to employ its entitled citizens are pretty dang low without dependable communication services.

PeeWee Herman, "I know you are but what am I." LOL, forgive me for injecting my opinion here but I believe you're making a low-ground argument in high-ground sounding terms.


The federal government was never meant to give things to people. Full stop. Benjamin Franklin recognized the true danger to the life of our Republic as it was being born, and said the following: "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic." ---FRANKLIN

Politicians sell themselves for votes and always have. But it has been the Dems of late, who have taken the practice to the existential levels feared by MR Franklin. By voting for and electing Democrats, whether it be those on the taxpayer dole, or those riding the special interest 'Self Serving Express,' or the 4 thousand would be border crashers presently on their way to our southern border, routinely put ink to the contract which insures their representatives do their bidding. Which of course is to provide them the things they want. Votes for stuff. And in that Benjamin Franklin's worst fear has come to pass.

Social justice and freedom make strange bedfellows.
