I liked the bits about pointless infrastructure spending. "One American in nine depends on the government for his daily bread" I bet Australia's proportion is higher. Looking beyond official unemployment, we have a lot of people claiming Gov. benefits. Great article. I liked the bits about pointless infrastructure spending.
