What a ridiculously slanted list.
How about we add:
-build roads and other infrastructure
-build schools and employee teachers
-build hospitals
-employee first responders
- and many more
I personally am on the fence still as I continue to gather facts, as are many others. One-sided propaganda like this doesn't help the conversation, it holds it back. There is waste in government and there is a huge bureaucracy in government but let's not pretend that there isn't a positive public utility from all levels of government. I don't mean to single you out as there are others on the other side that do the same thing. We can do better and have more meaningful discourse I think.
