U.S. Conference of Mayors

CNN has reported that the U.S. Conference of Mayors went to Capitol Hill earlier this month with a report listing 11,391 infrastructure projects proposed by 427 cities. The cost, as reported, is a cool $73.2 billion to pay for all these infrastructure projects that includes plans for a polar bear exhibit, an anti-prostitution program, a water park ride, zoos, museums and aquatic centers to name a view. I don't have enough time or space to delineate the remaining 11,385.

Isn't anyone out there concerned about whom will pay for all this stuff? Then again, what's a billion or trillion or quadrillion or quintillion or sextillion or septillion or octillion or nonillion or decillion or undecillion or dodecillion or tredecillion or
quattuordecillion or quindecillion or sexdecillion or septendecillion or octodecillion or novemdecillion or vigintillion? It is just monopoly money.
