Well you don't need to go to Iraq to find that. Look what's going on here at the state level in Washington. The Big dig in Seattle 4 Billion, the NASCAR track 179 Million in Tax payer costs, new Sonics Arena 500 million, New 520 bridge over Lake Washington another 4 billion. It goes on and on and all at the insistence of the Democrats. We hopefully get to vote on it but with history what it is here in Washington if you vote it down they still build it. No there are plenty of elitists (criminals) here in Washington. By the way all of the estimates are being challenged that they are at least under estimated by half. But sell the voter a lie it's the Democrats way in this State just like they did on the rapid transit they paid more for the land than it was supposed to take to complete the whole project. LOL the Democrats in this state have no learning curve.
