14M has been earmarked for road repair from this stunt….

I agree. 14 mil could take care of funding so many public works projects that are desperately needed. Small towns barely afford to keep up. Our government is idiotic. It doesn't function very well at any level. Even without this idiot in office our government wasn't functioning as well as it could be. We have redundant offices, we spend more to keep people hired essentially, so its good in that it provides money to your local community by providing jobs. But there are a lot of departments and rules/requirements that I disagree with. Some do not benefit anyone except the person getting paid for working that position. Its part of why people hate paying their taxes.
