taxpayers picking up the tab for billionaires.

  1. i grew up in a town that had a volunteer rescue squad. i knew one of the members and i recall him saying that in nearly 100% of the calls they responded to, they would receive a donation shortly afterwards.

    think this will be the case here?

    What the Titan search could cost — and who will pay for it

    OceanGate, the company that owned the Titan, will not be responsible for reimbursing the government, said Paul Zukunft, who led the Coast Guard from 2014 to 2018. “It’s no different,” he said, “than if a private citizen goes out, and his boat sinks. We go out and recover him. We don’t stick them with the bill after the fact.”
     
  2. You are also currently paying for "Marines" leaving the military to enter a program call "skill bridge". They get to work at a place in their chosen field and then the military pays them with your tax dollars and it supposedly saves the business on payroll.

    THE PROBLEM FOR THE TAXPAYER...
    Is that after a 4-5 year contract with the Marines, these supposed Marines can't follow BASIC directions, they lie about their work, they all have told me about how "great their character is" and their "work ethic" and then they don't do the work and hide on their phones...and the taxpayer is paying for this. :mad:

    I've surmised that America is screwed if we are attacked on our own soil.
     
  3. when i worked for the military as a civilian engineer, they (you... lol) paid for my MSEE.
    thanks...!

    i still don't see how your post has anything to do with billionaires playing with toys and the 100's of $thousands we just shelled out to discover they were idiots.
     
  4. How do you feel about paying for all the losers who got useless college degrees and are now working at Starbucks?
