UPFRONT:I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO DISCUSS THE LEGITIMACY OF THIS PROJECT...THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING STUPID. FRANCE HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THIS AND IT WAS A TOTAL FLOP!
In the USA, gov't projects are about exploiting the public.
So, how this works...
Cons: We can do this roadway and we will give you (approving city officials) some money when the project is finished.
Approving City Officials: Sounds good, cuz we have governmental immunity. The FBI* is more corrupt than we (city officials) are so nothing to worry about from the Feds; they will never investigate this scam. They are more interested in catching people for crimes against corporations. Maybe you guys (cons) could give us a little up-front too?
Public: I voted red/blue. (they get screwed no matter who).
No this is not a dream. However, the analysis is sound if you are an approving city official. They do nothing other than sign on approved line, immune from legal prosecution, and they get money before and after the project is complete. I would guesstimate the amount each approving city official receives at 10-20x their public salaries.
Sad, it is just a never ending cycle of the public getting fucked. It is just endless.... GO MURICA!
This is so blatantly stupid* you can fig it out on a sticky note applying the laws of 1st grade math!
*Funny how they can catch the McDonals Monopoly scam, but they wont catch these gov't cons.
**OK, this is a gov't scamming the public out of tax funds.
Note: Check the current GA senate race atm. Poor GA.
