-clip- This is why this whole country looks like a fucking rathole - everything built on the cheap, flimsy and covered with papier marche, and abandoned as soon as its profitablity ends. This is a stark contrast with Europe, visible with a naked eye.
The only public area with a substantial public investment is the military - and it shows. We have the best equipped (if not the most capable) military in the world, albeit the Bush gang started privatizing this area as well. If this trend continues, the US military will look like anything else private in this country: plywood coverd with glitzy papier marche and fabulous salaries for the top brass.

CB: Woj, isn't it true that the formerly socialist Poland did much better than the US in investing in public interest property, public property , so to speak ?
