During the Clinton years, I remember a story about a boy who
had a lawn mowing service. He amassed some money. He was on
the news, offering Slick Willie a thouand dollars to help
with the deficit. Rush was having a fit, he should hire
help and reinvest in the economy, not rewarding congress
that can't live within its means.

I remember Pres. Clit saying they would have to "see if we
can accept this money".

Much the same, the highway dept probably can't accept such
funds.

What we cut up and piled beside the pavement to clear
our street
filled two large dump trucks. Then the county had a huge
open burn pit
to get rid of all the downed trees. It had a roaring fire
for over six
months.

What a waste of perfectly good firewood...

The City could have paid a Crew to section it up, split it,
and stack
it by species at the back of the Street Maintenance yard.
Give it the
summer to season, then paid the crew and put something back
in the
budget out of the proceeds from the wood.

But that would take thought and reasoning, and the ability
to act when
you see an opportunity - several things in short supply
today.

No kidding. But spending $1000 worth of labor this year for
$10,000
profit next year isn't in this year's budget. City and
county workers
don't care what something costs. The gummint pays for it.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
