    No mortgages=no houses=no jobs for residential electrical contractors.

    As to funding the Alaska NG pipeline....There's almost $5 million in the current budget for personnel to oversee the project.......doens't sound much like an "Alaska Only" project. Further more, this quote from one of your Fed. Reps makes it sound like a pork project:

    Rep. Jay Ramras, R-Fairbanks, heard the same message.

    “My wish is that it would be turned into a giant public works project,” he said. “I’m concerned if it’s left up to the economics of the project, it is probably not going to happen. It’s quite doubtful.”


    Go Alaska.............nice to see you're all so independent......oops, maybe not so much.
    Go pound sand.

    If Ak was left to the original agreement, Jay Ramras would be sucking on an exaushst pipe instead of wasting his breath.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Given that you're proclaiming how independent you are from federal funding, it is a part of the discussion. I brought this into the discussion as much of the mortgage industry and much of the construction industry is either backed or directly funded with federal money. That being the case, you are being paid with money backed by taxpayers or funded directly from tax money.

    As to pounding sand, well, when the facts don't support your argument, ignore them and resort to invective.

    Sand keep pounding it. Where the homeowners get the money isnt my concern as long as the contractor is able to pay my boss so he can pay me.

    Translation:

    Cut federal spending, keep your hands out of my pocket.....

    But, when the cuts get to your particular piece of pork....

    Wait! Where'd my paycheck go?!

    Next your going to tell me the $30k I put as a down payment on my house came from taxpayers.

    Or that the people paying me for computer work got the money from tax payers. Next your going to tell me all my training, either electrical or computer, was tax payer funded.


    Oh yeah its always nice to see "adults" gang up on a smart kid.

    I have no idea where you recieved your education, so there's no way I can honestly comment on whether or not there was taxpayer money involved, and I never made any comments indicating that.

    As to Reggie, who was ganging up on him?

    My comments, vetted by the mayor, were strictly intended to educate him, both on basic communications and how to carry yourself if you want to be taken seriously.

    If an attempt to help him improve how he's seen is "ganging up on him", then I guess I'm guilty.

    Was I terse? Probably. Less than kindly? More than likely, but I've never claimed to be anything else.

    I would translate it a little different.

    I'll take government money as long as it is "laundered" and I can pretend it didn't come from the government (except when it is okay that it comes from the government - like unemployment...)
