We in the USA are in the "Great Recession,,," about to double dip,,, and our politicians and even the news media has given up on this TOTALLY WASTEFUL UN-NEEDED AND UN-WANTED SPENDING OF EXTREMELY LIMITED TAX MONEYS,,, in a Arnold S.-the movie star left with very low popularity ratings, broke busted politically gridlocked because of just a few minority Republicans, sad and sorry State of California.
The eastern part of the Bay Bridge , already a HUGE EMBARRASSMENT AND MASSIVE COST OVER-RUN like the Boston 'big dig',,, is maybe coming in in 11 YEARS vs one.
And the SFBay is still an open sewer, with cities like Redwood City getting away with dumping raw sewage into the Bay. OK, the politicians and the airlines want the SFBay 'dead' cuz of SFO and the risk of bird strikes,,,also OAKLAND AIRPORT,,, and TINY SAN JOSE AIRPORT, WHERE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A 747 OR DC-10 LAND, built too close to the highrises of downtown. Doesn't anyone care about the environmental health of the SFBay anymore, our health, and our future on this planet?
