Potholes and President Trump

I imagine by now you people who live and drive in the Fabulous Silver Valley of North Idaho are tired of playing the same game over and over. The name of the game is called Dodging the Potholes. It doesn’t cost anything to join, but it could be costly. The Dike road in Pinehurst is worse than the horse and buggy days; also, the Upper Pinecreek road has so many potholes that I couldn’t count all of them. Spokane has the same problem, they are using a new mixture and I sure as hell hope that it works.

Now, I will tell you where all the money is wasted that could build new highways, bridges, roads, and fix all the potholes in many states. It is President Trump, his children, and his cabinet members who have millions of dollars. The trumps want Melania and their son Barron to stay at the New York Trump Tower until Barron finishes his school year in New York (for six months). To start with, it was reported that it will cost the taxpayers some 37.4 million dollars for security at the Trump Tower up to his inauguration and there will be a lease in the Trump Tower by the feds of two floors for the security resources at an annual amount of three million. It is estimated to cost $500,000 per day to pay for the protection, personnel, and equipment for the Trumps while they are in the Trump Tower until Barron finishes up his school year. It is estimated to be around 72 million, what a waste. Next comes the budget plan at a cost of 54 billion. I believe in a strong military, but who in the hell is going to pay for it? I bet there will be cuts to the poor people and the middle class. That has always been the Republican game. The biggest waste of money is the wall that Trump is going to build. It is going to cost billions of dollars for nothing. I don’t think the Mexicans will fly over the wall, but I bet they will dig tunnels under the wall.

Do you think that President Trump could be on some type of medication or drugs? The way he acts, talks, and seems confused, sometimes I wonder. If they get rid of Obama Care, people will be running around in their underwear.

Finally, I would like to tell Mr. Neal Wages that he also writes good articles
