HIGHWAYS IN CALIFORNIA                   article by:  James Thomas Fridas


The situation in California is in critical condition and its no wonder the Department of Highways   aka Cal Trans is run bu some of the most incompetent people on the planet!   Allow me to explain and see if you do not agree with me of if you think these people are the genius's they think they are!
While we can look at the Highway 4 bypass as a prime example we need to first look at who set the tone for today's incompetence and why!  
I believe it was 1977 when the appointed director of Cal  Trans appointed by then Governor Jerry Moonbeam Brown, said in a meeting among high ranking people and officials that and I quote;  We will get the people out of their cars and into public transportation by the turn of the century!  The problem is that transportation is not adequate for the masses because of inadequacies in the management of the Cal Tran department and other transportation departments.
The first thing is that there are not enough street cars for the masses, and there are not enough buses either, so as far as getting people out of their cars and into public transportation a much more positive approach is needed not a negative one like the socialists in Sacrament are proposing.  Now the guy who runs the state is trying to get us to foot the bill of a massive high speed rail transportation system run by, you guessed it more incompetent people!


So with that there is highway 4 which was suppose to take traffic out of Oakley and make the commute easier on everyone, not so fast state flunkies!   You take it out of Oakley and dump it in Brentwood with a two lane road in the heart of Brentwood and expect us to believe you know what the hell your doing, one word "IDIOTS"!  Then you have the turn off for Oakley either you have to go to Hillcrest and turn around coming back on Highway 4 to the Oakley exit or take the Laurel exit, more genius at work here, incredible, really incredible!


Of course that is only in Contra Costa county, there is Los Angeles, there is Santa Clara and of course Alameda, and that doesn't count the rest of the state where are the real solutions?  They are in a desk drawer in Meg Whitman's house and she ain't talking, after all the whore in Sacramento is governor now, right?  Well why do you think they call him Moonbeam Brown?  Because he's a saint?  Ain't!


If the situation is going to improve its going to take a lot of pressure from the people on the Governor and ASSembly to make the necessary improvements they are out there we just need to hammer the bastards on the head hard enough to let them know we are still in charge not them!


I really look forward to some interaction and comments on this from my readers, I hope you join in on the dialogue and lets let Sacramento know we do not appreciate lack luster production using our dollars!


I will add some more posts to this article in the coming days ahead so keep a look out for more hard hitting foot stomping butt kicking responses from yours truly!
